57KirchPayTV notes, fourth, that the applicant is a trade association of public radio broadcasting institutions. However, according to settled case-law, an association created with a view to defending common interests of a group of members is not individually concerned by a decision adversely affecting the common interests of that group (Case C-409/96 P Sveriges Betodlares and Henrikson v Commission [1997] ECR I-7531, paragraph 45; and Case T-86/96 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Luftfahrt-Unternehmen and Hapag-Lloyd v Commission [1999] ECR II-179, paragraph 55 et seq.). In particular, such an association cannot bring an action where, as in the present case, its members are not entitled to do so.
