As regards terminology: with the term ‘definition’, I do not only mean the way how the principle of equal treatment is defined, but also the way how it is interpreted and applied.

As set out in the previous section, there are two main definitions of the principle of equal treatment. Nevertheless, in this PhD-study, I do not use the CJEU- definition nor the Aristotelian formula. Instead, I propose a different definition1; see section 6.7.
Why do I propose a different definition? This is due to the following three reasons. In the first place, I am of the opinion that the CJEU-definition is unsatisfactory for the purposes of this PhD-study (see subsections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3). In the second place, I am of the opinion that I am not bound to use the CJEU- definition. In my view, it is justified to use other definitions of the principle of equal treatment (see subsection 6.3.4). One of these other definitions is the aforementioned Aristotelian formula. However, I am of the opinion that the Aristotelian formula is unfeasible in the specific context of bank State aid cases (see subsection 6.3.5).
