Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal appeal had become moot after the AVE declaration expired
Decisione estratta
The merits became moot because the challenged AVE declaration was set aside with effect from 30 September 2010; the proceedings were therefore discontinued on that point.
Motivazione estratta
No current practical interest remained, and no exception to the requirement of current interest applied because any future reintroduction of the contested guarantee could be challenged again.
