The case law on the application of EU State aid law to sales and privatisations is scarce. With its two judgments in Ja zum Nürburgring and NeXovation, the Court of Justice has given some indication as to what was not an open, transparent, non-discriminatory and unconditional tender process, but the requirements needed for such a process to exclude the existence of a State aid have not yet been finally defined.
