Today\u2019s judgments underline the need for the European Commission to immediately act to recover these illegal State aid packages and order remedies to restore at least some of the damage done to competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This press release may contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including expected delivery dates.
