competition distortion - the prevention of normal free trade in goods and services by distorting factors such as market-sharing arrangements, quotas and state aids
Riigiabi on riigi või kohaliku omavalitsuse üksuse (edaspidi riigiabi andja) poolt või nende vahenditest otseselt või kaudselt ükskõik missugusel kujul antav soodustus, mis moonutab või võib moonutada konkurentsi, soodustades mõnda ettevõtjat või mingite kaupade tootmist või müüki.
In order to avoid disruption of the Community market and any distortion of competition between Community operators, the purchase price for the goods from public storage must be determined according to clear-cut criteria and be known to all tenderers in advance.
This Title shall not provide a basis for the introduction by the Community of any measure which could lead to a distortion of competition or contains tax provisions or provisions relating to the rights and interests of employed persons.
