276However, that does not show that the Referral Decision is not of direct concern to the applicant. The question whether a third party is directly concerned by a Community measure which is not addressed to it must be examined in the light of the purpose of that measure. The purpose of a referral decision is not to rule on the effects of the concentration on the relevant markets which are the subject of the referral but to transfer responsibility for the examination of certain aspects of the concentration to the national authorities which have requested the referral in order that they may give a ruling in accordance with their national competition law. In view of that purpose, it is irrelevant in the present case that the Referral Decision does not directly affect the competitive position of the applicant on the relevant markets in France.
