been created devoted to the enforcement of the Commission's state aids

Judgment
of the Court of First Instance in Case T-319/99 Fenin / Commission
It is
the business of offering goods or services in a particular market, rather than
the simple fact of making purchases, which characterises an activity as an
economic activity in EC competition law…when a body or organization purchases
goods or equipment for use in an activity which is not economic in nature for
example one which is purely social, it is not acting as an undertaking, even if
it wields considerable economic power
