24Second, the finding that the Front National is directly affected by the contested act is also at variance with the case-law of the Court and, in particular, with the judgment in Case 69/69 Alean and Others v Commission [1970] ECR 385, by virtue of which an applicant can be directly concerned by an act only if the latter has per se the immediate effect of depriving the applicant of a right or imposing on it a duty, so that such an applicant is placed in the same position as the one it would be in if the act concerned were addressed to it. In the Parliament's submission, that is not the case here, since the Front National, unlike its candidates who are elected Members of the Parliament, is affected only indirectly by the act concerned.
