The port of Piraeus is divided into two parts: the commercial port and the passenger port. This is a rich and wide-ranging judgment because it deals both with the concept of State aid in situations where Member States try to remedy alleged market failure and with the issue of compatibility of State aid.

On 13 December 2017, the General Court delivered its judgment in case T-314/15, Greece v European Commission.
