Following a complaint the European Commission has decided on 11 March
to launch a formal investigation into an agreement for the provision of
airport services at Bratislava airport, which allegedly favours Ryanair.
The Commission decision also requires the airport to submit a copy of
the agreement to it, which it has so far refused to do. Without access
to this document, and on the basis of the information provided by the
complainant, the Commission has doubts about its compatibility with EU
rules on State aid.
