• Resumen

  • On 3 July 2014, the General Court of the Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed that the decision of the Government of the Spanish region of Valencia (�Comunitat Valenciana�) consisting of a series of investments with regards to the project named �Ciudad de la Luz� (City of the Light) is incompatible with EU law. This project includes the creation and exploitation of new cinema studios and a school of cinema near the city of Alicante. The Court validates the decision adopted in May of 2012 by the European Commission, which declared such measures as being a State aid contrary to article 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and therefore were incompatible with the internal market.
