25As regards the merits of the Commission's objection of inadmissibility, it should be observed at the outset that the Court has consistently held that only a measure whose legal effects are binding on the applicant and are capable of affecting his interests is an act or decision which may be the subject of an action for annulment under Article 173 of the Treaty (see, inter alia, the orders in Cases C-66/91 and C-66/91 R Emerald Meats v Commission [1991] ECR I-1143, paragraph 26, and in Case C-50/90 Sunzest v Commission [1991] ECR I-2917, paragraph 12, and the judgment in Case C-308/95 Netherlands v Commission [1999] ECR I-6513, paragraph 26).
