General Court · Second Chamber, sitting with five Judges
60As to the question whether the contested decision is of direct concern to the applicants, it is true, as Italgrani maintained, that the decision was not capable of affecting the applicants interests without the adoption at national level of implementing measures by CIPI. However, given that CIPI in its decision of 12 April 1990 had already approved the investment programme initially provided for and the relevant aids in that connection, and that the modifications made subsequently were presented by the Italian authorities themselves, the possibility of the Italian authorities deciding not to grant the aid authorized by the Commission decision is purely theoretical since there is no doubt as to the will of the Italian authorities to act.
