33In addition, Kruidvat did not participate in the administrative procedure. The letter from the Raad FGB of 29 November 1991 (see paragraph 7 above) did not mention Kruidvat at all. There is nothing to indicate that that letter was sent in Kruidvat's name, nor is it established that Kruidvat or its parent company in any way influenced the Raad FGB's decision to submit observations. Besides, membership of the Raad FGB belongs not to Kruidvat or its shareholders but to the Netherlands parent company. It is fruitless for Kruidvat to rely on Metro II, because in that case Metro had lodged a complaint with the Commission and submitted written observations in the administrative procedure. The same applied in Case 26/76Metro v Commission [1977] ECR 1875 (hereinafter ‘Metro I’) and Case 210/81Demo-Studio Schmidt v Commission [1983] ECR 3045.
