UNETE A LA LISTA DE COMPENSACION ECONOMICA
SCRAPES
Selected most harmed potential victims (based on direct competition distortion from €53M unlawful state aid to Plus Ultra, route overlaps on Spain-Latin America, proven litigation history against similar aids, and ability to represent aggregated taxpayer/passenger claims for compensation under EU state aid rules/TFEU Art. 108-109):
1. Ryanair (most active litigant: challenged Spanish FASEE fund including Plus Ultra aid at EU General Court, lost on procedural grounds but won multiple state aid cases; heaviest market distortion as low-cost competitor).
2. IAG/Iberia (Spanish flag carrier, direct long-haul competitor on Latin America routes; subsidized rival caused lost market share/pricing power; IAG CEO Luis Gallego).
3. Airlines for Europe (A4E) (lobby association of major airlines including Ryanair/IAG; repeatedly condemns unfair state aids, ideal for coordinated competitor damages claim).
4. OCU – Organización de Consumidores y Usuarios (largest Spanish consumer body; aggregates passenger complaints leading to €179M+ fines on airlines; represents taxpayers for misuse of public funds).
5. FACUA-Consumidores en Acción (aggressive consumer association; secured €150M+ fines for airline abuses; runs public denuncias on state aid opacity).

Companies that could be victims (as competitors potentially harmed by market distortion from the €53M state aid to Plus Ultra in 2021, especially on Spain-Latin America routes):
– Ryanair: Actively challenges similar state aids (e.g., lost appeal on Spanish solvency scheme including Plus Ultra aid, and won rulings on Air France-KLM and Condor aids).

– Avianca: Competes on Spain-Latin America routes (e.g., Madrid to Bogotá, holds 8.7% market share in some rankings). Distorted competition could increase costs or reduce market share. Contact via avianca.com/en/contact-us/.
– LATAM Airlines: Competes on Spain-Latin America routes (e.g., Madrid to Santiago, 7.3% market share). Similar harm from unfair aid. Contact via latamairlines.com/en-us/contact-us.
– Aeroméxico: Competes on routes like Madrid to Mexico City (5.4% market share). Potential victim from route overlap. Contact via aeromexico.com/en-us/contact-us.

EUDAMED (European Database on Medical Devices) consists of six modules covering aspects like actor registration, UDI/devices, notified bodies/certificates, clinical investigations, vigilance/post-market surveillance, and market surveillance. Public access is available for certain modules (e.g., devices, certificates), allowing searches by fields like manufacturer, model, risk class, UDI-DI, or EMDN codes via the official portal at
or third-party tools like
However, the vigilance module (for safety alerts and incidents) is not fully public and restricted to authorities, with alerts typically disseminated through national agencies rather than a centralized public search. The EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) system at
handles alerts for dangerous non-food products but explicitly excludes medical devices.
