35In the third place, the Commission maintains that the letter of 28 February 2000 cannot be regarded as a ‘decision’, because it was signed by an official to whom decision-making power had not been delegated pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Procedure, so as to authorise that official to adopt a decision in the name of the College of Commissioners or of the competent Member of the Commission. In support of that argument it refers to the order of the Court of Justice in Case C-25/92 Miethke v Parliament [1993] ECR I-473, paragraph 10, and the judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-277/94 AITEC v Commission [1996] ECR II-351, paragraph 50. It submits that the letter of 28 February 2000 was of a purely informative nature and cannot therefore be qualified as a ‘decision’ rejecting a ‘complaint’.
