Judgment_paragraph 35 · Italian Republic v Commission of the European Communities (C-298/00 P)

35Where a decision is not of individual concern to a natural or legal person within the meaning of that provision, which is an essential condition for having locus standi in proceedings seeking judicial review of a Community act, such proceedings are inadmissible and that inadmissibility therefore constitutes a ground involving a question of public policy which may, and even must, be raised of its own motion by the Community judicature (see, with regard to a party having no interest in bringing or in maintaining an appeal, Case C-19/93 P Rendo and Others v Commission [1995] ECR I-3319, paragraph 13).
