it found those measures to be incompatible with the internal market and ordered that they be recovered;

declare, pursuant to Article 277 TFEU, that Article 4(f) of Decision 2012/21/EU and point 9 of the European Union Framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation (2011) are unlawful and inapplicable;

order the Commission to pay the costs.
