Article 1
1.The full exemption of baseload consumers in Germany from paying network charges, which Germany has unlawfully put into effect in 2012 and 2013, constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty insofar as those consumers were exempted from paying network charges corresponding to the network costs caused by them or, where those network costs amounted to less than the minimum network charges of 20 % of the published network charges, from paying those minimum network charges.
2.The State aid referred to in paragraph 1 was put into effect by Germany in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty and is incompatible with the internal market.
