My next question relates to regional airports. Knock airport is on the west coast. Does the State decide that state aid should not be given? The airport is making the case for 90% funding as its infrastructure needs investment and state aid rules cap such funding at 75%. Is it the member state or the European Commission which decides that state aid can be given to a regional airport?
