lpv:translated text	". In recent years, the Commission has fulfilled its mission to hunt down state aid with a somewhat blind zeal, seeing aid to be criticised practically everywhere. For the first time, the Council recently tried to moderate the Commission by using Article 88(3) which allows it, ruling unanimously in exceptional circumstances, to exonerate some aid from any proceedings. We regret that it did not have that courage earlier, for example when the Commission condemned public aid for employment in the French textiles sector. The Court of Justice also put on another brake with the Ferring ruling of 22 November 2001, which exonerates public aid when it solely compensates for the excess cost of a public service constraint. We hope that this case law will be confirmed. It seems to us that now the corresponding section of the Treaty (Articles 87 to 89) should be updated in order to better define acceptable public aid, for example for employment, the environment or compensating for public service constraints. Moreover, the Commission should not have exclusive and discretionary powers: the national democracies should also be able to have an input."@en1
