49As to whether those two shipyards are also directly concerned by the contested decision, it is true that the decision could not affect their interests in the absence of implementing measures adopted by the German Government. The Court finds, however, that the German Government had already placed the cash component of the second tranche of the aid at issue in blocked accounts with Commerzbank and Dresdner Bank on 30 December 1993, pending the Commission's approval. Consequently, there was no doubt about the German authorities' intention to grant the aid in question. It must therefore be held that the aforementioned two shipyards are directly concerned by the contested decision (see, to the same effect, Case 11/82 Piraiki-Patraiki and Others v Commission [1985] ECR 207).
