Article 2
1. Prior to any aid payments, France shall give the Commission an undertaking that the restructuring plan, including the reductions in staff and the timetable for such reductions, has been definitively confirmed. 2. Aid shall be paid only as and when the plan is implemented. 3. The aid in question shall be the last possible aid for SFP; no further aid may be granted in future, save in exceptional, unforeseeable circumstances occurring outside the firm. 4. The French authorities shall submit to the Commission a detailed report on the implementation of the plan every six months from 1 January 1998 to the end of 2000. 5. The French authorities shall not favour SFP either directly or indirectly through public television channels, in particular by obliging such channels to place orders with SFP.
