I have not received any advice from the European Commission on the implication of the European Court of Justice judgment in Case C-280/00, the Altmark case. However, the Commission recently published revised proposals for the regulation of public transport services by rail and road. The Commission stated these revised proposals take account of the Altmark judgment. I received advice from the Attorney General concerning the Altmark judgment. This advice is subject to legal privilege and I am not in a position to publish it.
