30According to consistent case-law, any measure the legal effects of which are binding on, and capable of affecting the interests of, the applicant by bringing about a distinct change in his legal position is an act or a decision which may be the subject of an action for annulment under Article 263 TFEU (Case 60/81 IBM v Commission [1981] ECR I-2639, paragraph 9; Case T-81/97 Regione Toscana v Commission [1998] ECR II-2889, paragraph 21). Moreover, it has been held that a measure of a purely informative character can neither affect the interests of the addressee or change his legal position compared with the situation prior to receipt of that measure (see, to that effect, order of the Court of Justice of 4 October 2007 in Case C-457/06 P Finland v Commission, not published in the ECR, paragraph 36).
