The Ferracci and Montessori judgments of the General Court of 15 September 2016 were challenges brought against a Commission Decision
scrutinising Italian municipal tax rules allowing tax exemptions for non-commercial bodies. The cases raise issues of when third party standing is allowed under Article 264(4) TFEU, the standard of review of European Commission Decisions, the concept of economic and non-economic activity and when the European Commission may decide that it is impossible for a Member State to recover illegal State aid.
Key Words: Economic and Non-Economic Activity; Access to Justice; Standing before the General Court; Impossibility of Recovery of State Aid.
