31When the act under challenge is applied by the national authorities to which it is addressed, it must be ascertained whether application of the act leaves any discretion to those authorities (Case T-54/96 Oleifici Italiani and Fratelli Rubino v Commission [1998] ECR II-3377, paragraph 56). Similarly, an individual is directly affected if it is only theoretically possible for addressees not to give effect to the Community measure, there being no doubt as to their intention to act in conformity with it (Case 11/82 Piraiki-Patraiki and Others v Commission [1985] ECR 207, paragraphs 8 to 11, and Dreyfus v Commission, paragraph 44).
