    14. The French authorities also refute CFF’s argument that the market value of SNCM’s fleet was underestimated, which CFF assessed at between EUR 406,5 million and EUR 426,5 million. The French authorities argue that the vessels taken into account in CFF’s calculation do not correspond to those held in SNCM’s name on 30 September 2005. The absence of discounts applied to the market value of the vessels does not take account of the background in which a potential compulsory liquidation of those assets takes place and, finally, the date chosen to calculate that market value, August 2006, is not the date of potential liquidation of SNCM to which reference must be made, that date being 30 September 2005. However, France notes that, if the calculation proposed by CFF was to be accepted, the negative price would be three times lower than the liquidation value of the assets required by the Gröditzer case-law, which would therefore be more favourable than the cases presented to the Commission by the French authorities.
