The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has upheld a ruling by the EU court on state aid for the planned Baltic Sea tunnel between Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark.
The judge's ruling from 2018 states that the EU Commission did not check carefully enough whether the aid was legal.
Objections to this judgment were dismissed on Wednesday, as the ECJ announced in Luxembourg (cases C-174/19 and C-175/19).
Luxembourg - Following the judgment of the EU court, the Commission had already initiated a more detailed investigation, and the result of this investigation has again been sued.
A decision in this proceeding is still pending.
