ABSTRACT

The locus standi of individuals is much more limited. As Art 173 (230) makes clear, provided that it is within the time limit, no problem arises where the measure sought to be challenged is addressed to the applicant. For example, a common instance is where the Commission has issued a decision declaring the applicant to be infringing the competition law of the Community. In this situation, the addressee/applicant has a straightforward, direct interest.
