41In the present case, it must be observed, first of all, that, according to consistent case-law, an action for annulment brought by a natural or legal person is admissible only in so far as the applicant has an interest in the annulment of the contested measure. Such an interest presupposes that the annulment of the measure must of itself be capable, by its result, of procuring an advantage for the party who brought it (see, to that effect, Case C-174/99 PParliament v Richard [2000] ECR I-6189, paragraph 33; Case C-97/08 PAkzo Nobel and Others v Commission [2009] ECR I-8237, paragraph 33 and the case-law cited; and Case T-310/00MCI v Commission [2004] ECR II-3253, paragraph 44 and the case-law cited).
