331In accordance with settled case-law, an action for annulment brought by a natural or legal person is admissible only in so far as that person has an interest in the annulment of the contested measure. Such an interest exists only if the annulment of the measure is of itself capable of having legal consequences (Case 53/85 Akzo Chemie and AKZO Chemie UK v Commission [1986] ECR 1965, paragraph 21; see also Joined Cases T-480/93 and T-483/93 Antillean Rice Mills and Others v Commission [1995] ECR II-2305, paragraphs 59 and 60 and the case-law cited, and Case T-188/99 Euroalliages v Commission [2001] ECR II-1757, paragraph 26) or, in accordance with a different form of words, the action must be liable, if successful, to procure an advantage for the party who has brought it (Case C-174/99 P Parliament v Richard [2000] ECR I-6189, paragraph 33, Case C-50/00 P Unión de Pequeños Agricultores v Council [2002] ECR I-6677, paragraph 21, and Case T-310/00 MCI v Commission [2004] ECR II-3253, paragraph 44).
