Pleas in law and main arguments
By the present action, the applicant seeks the annulment of Commission Decision C(2018) 4385 final of 12 July 2018 relating to its aid complaint regarding the provision laid down in Paragraph 7a of the Niedersächsisches Nahverkehrsgesetz (Law of Lower Saxony relating to Local Transport; ‘the NNVG’) (Case SA. 46697 (2017/NN)) (OJ 2018 C 292, p. 2).
The action is based on a single plea, namely that, contrary to the view taken by the Commission, Paragraph 7a of the NNVG represents new aid which is subject to an obligation of notification.
