Judgment_paragraph 35 · Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Luftfahrt-Unternehmen, constituted by Aero Lloyd Flugreisen GmbH & Co. Luftverkehrs-KG, Air Berlin GmbH & Co. Luftverkehrs KG, Condor Flugdienst GmbH, Germania Fluggesellschaft mbH, Hapag-Lloyd Fluggesellschaft mbH, LTU Lufttransport Unternehmen GmbH & Co.

35Secondly, in its capacity as an interested third party within the meaning of Article 93(2) of the Treaty, HLF enjoys procedural guarantees entitling it to take part in the procedure provided for under that provision and to submit its observations to the Commission (Case 323/82 Intermitís v Commission [1984] ECR 3809, paragraph 16, Cook v Commission, cited above, paragraph 24, and Matra v Commission, cited above, paragraph 18). This circumstance alone entitles it to bring an action so as to ascertain, first, whether its procedural guarantees have been respected and, second, whether the contested decision infringes Community law (Case 169/84 Cofaz and Others v Commission [1986] ECR 391, paragraph 23, and the orders of the President of the Court of First Instance in Case T-96/92 R CCE de la Société Générale des Grandes Sources and Others v Commission [1992] ECR II-2579, paragraph 33, and in Case T-12/93 R CCE Vittel and CE Pierval v Commission [1993] ECR II-449, paragraph 22). It is thus irrelevant whether HLF did or did not take part in the procedure provided for under Article 93(2) of the Treaty (Case T-96/92 CCE de la Société Générale des Grandes Sources and Others v Commission [1995] ECR II-1213, paragraph 36, Case T-12/93 CCE de Vittel and Others v Commission [1995] ECR II-1247, paragraph 47, and Joined Cases T-528/93, T-542/93, T-543/93 and T-546/93 Métropole Télévision and Others v Commission [1996] ECR II-649, paragraph 62).
