(3) By letter dated 11 December 2007 (hereafter ‘the opening decision’) the Commission informed Slovakia that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the measure. (4)  The Commission Decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments. (%) By letter dated 13 February 2006, the Commission asked the Slovak authorities to submit for evaluation nine different notifications so that it could assess the compatibility of each of the nine projects on the basis of their individual merits. In their reply of 12 March 2007, the Slovak authorities explained to the Commission that Alas Slovakia s.r.o., constituted a single tax entity with several estab- lishments, with a single tax liability. The applicable Slovak legislation does not allow taxpayers to calculate the tax base and the corporate tax for each organisational unit separately. Therefore, the Slovak authorities consider that it is not possible to calculate the amount of aid received by each establishment. () See footnote 1.
