If no, please explain in detail why you consider that the support does not constitute State aid. Please provide this information for all groups of potential State aid recipients (for example, in case of infrastructures potential aid recipients are: the owner of the infrastructure, the constructor, the operator and the users of the infrastructure)f1. If applicable, please indicate whether the reason why you consider that the project does not involve State aid is that (i) the project does not concern any economic activity (including activities in the public remit) or that (ii) the recipient(s) of support enjoy a legal monopoly for the relevant activities and are not active in any other liberalised sector (or will keep separate accounts in case the recipient(s) are active in additional sectors).
