21Decision 1999/93 was adopted on the basis of Article 13(4) of Directive 89/106 and is addressed to the Member States. It is an act of general application which specifies the types of attestation of conformity procedures that are applicable, respectively, to doors, windows, shutters, blinds, gates and related building hardware and which authorises CEN/Cenelec to specify the content of those procedures in the relevant harmonised standards, which will then be transposed by the standardisation bodies of each Member State. In accordance with Article 249 EC, Decision 1999/93 is binding only upon the Member States, which, under Article 4 of that decision, are the sole addressees. Accordingly, the considerations underpinning the case-law referred to in the preceding paragraph with regard to directives apply mutatis mutandis to the question whether Decision 1999/93 may be relied upon as against an individual.
