The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has dismissed an action by Austria contesting the European Commission's (EC’s) approval of investment aid for an upgrade of Hungary's Paks NPP. Austria had argued that Hungary's direct award of the project to a Russian contractor in the framework of an agreement involving €10 billion ($10.44bn) of credit from Russia violated European Union rules on public procurement. The EC had cleared the aid, subject to conditions, citing a provision in the Treaties that allows aid for certain economic activities as long as it "does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest".

His opinion will be taken into account when the European Court of Justice rules on Austria's appeal of the General Court's 2018 decision to reject the case.
