| The European Court of Justice has announced the hearing of the joint cases C-471/09P to C-476/09P and the Foral Deputations, the Kingdom of Spain, Confebask, the Basque Government, the Chamber of Commerce of Alava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, the European Commission and the Autonomous Community of La Rioja have been called to it at its seat in Luxemburg on the 10th of May at 9,30 a.m.
The joint cases subject to the hearing are the High Instance appeals referred by the Basque Institutions against the First Instance General Court Decision of 9th September 2009, by virtue of which the annulment appeals against the European Commission Decision of 11 July 2001 were rejected. The Decision concerned the so-called mini tax holidays and the 45 per cent tax credit in the Corporate Income Tax, granted for big investments, and regarded them as incompatible state aids. The hearing is taking place two months after the one held on 10th of March concerning the tax holidays (joint cases C-465/09P to C-470/09 P). The public reading of the Sentences for these cases, which will end the judicial review procedures, is announced for the 9th of June
