It cannot be inferred from the mere participation of an applicant in the administrative proceedings that it has standing to bring proceedings (order of 7 March 2013 in UOP v Commission, T‑198/09, not published, EU:T:2013:105, paragraph 27; see also, to that effect, judgment of 22 November 2007 in Sniace v Commission, C‑260/05 P, EU:C:2007:700, paragraph 60) even if it played an important part in the proceedings, inter alia by lodging the complaint which led to the contested decision (see, to that effect, judgment of 9 July 2009 in 3F v Commission, C‑319/07 P, EU:C:2009:435, paragraphs 94 and 95).
