59Nor, with regard to infringement proceedings, does European Union law, in particular Article 226 EC, provide for the right for an individual to consult the file, even if the procedure has been brought about by that individual’s complaint. The Commission has merely conceded, in its internal rules of procedure relating to the administrative measures in favour of the complainant, that it will inform the complainant of the decisions adopted and of the proposal to close the file without further action (see Commission communication to the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of 20 March 2002 on relations with the complainant in respect of infringements of Community law (COM/2002/0141 final; OJ 2002 C 244, p. 5, paragraphs 7, 9 and 10)).
