In the question submitted by Mr Gasòliba i Böhm, there is a slightly more general reference to the rationale of monitoring State funding. In this case, one might well wonder why the Commission believes that the funding given to a theme park such as Tierra Mítica can affect intra-Community trade. In fact, the Commission believes that large theme parks like Tierra Mítica are much like other tourist destinations, and this affects – or might potentially affect – tourist numbers. On the other hand, these theme parks are an added tourist attraction for the area where they are built.
Moreover, the Commission has already adopted several decisions with regard to State funding for theme parks as well as other tourist investment projects such as hotels or marinas. Lastly, in the present case, even the advertisement for the theme park explains how to find the location from abroad.
Without wanting to pre-empt the outcome of the proceedings that have recently been opened, I would stress, to give a more direct answer to your question, that if the Commission does discover that funding has been granted illegally it will set about recovering the money. Now is not the time, however, to pre-empt the outcome of the inquiry in any way."@en1
