Division 1.1

All measures that may be necessary for the implementation of the restructuring plan, and in particular any further aid, must comply with the notices issued by the Commission and with the practice established by the Commission in its decisions, having due regard to the special features of the case of WestLB. They may not evade them or deprive them of effect. This applies in particular in the event that the restructuring plan is implemented by divesting balance sheet items to a vehicle belonging to the owners of WestLB with a view to their liquidation, and to measures taken by the Special Financial Market Stabilisation Fund (Sonderfonds Finanzmarktstabilisierung — ‘SoFFin’) and measures aimed at ensuring the refinancing of WestLB. The Commission must be notified of any State aid to WestLB before it is put into effect.
