30The Republic of Austria adds that the applicant's participation in the procedure under Article 88(2) EC does not suffice to distinguish it individually as it would the person to whom the contested decision is addressed (Case T-86/96 Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Luftfahrt-Unternehmen and Hapag-Lloyd v Commission [1999] ECR II-179, paragraph 50). It follows from the case-law that, in State-aid matters, participation in that procedure is only one of the factors capable of establishing that a natural or legal person is individually concerned by the decision which it seeks to have annulled (COFAZ and Others v Commission, cited above, paragraph 25, and Case T-189/97 Comité d'entreprise de la Société française de production and Others v Commission [1998] ECR II-335, paragraph 44).
