Your major competitor suddenly gets a big shot in the arm, in the form of more money from your own government. Or perhaps it gets paid 30-40% more than you for doing the same work. Or maybe barriers that have kept a subsidised state-owned company from competing in your market are suddenly removed. You launch a complaint to the European Commission, and then: nothing happens for years.
