Judgment_paragraph 32 · Federazione nazionale delle cooperative della pesca (Federcoopesca) and Others v European Commission (T-312/14)

32Before examining the combined effects of these two cumulative conditions, it should be recalled, as regards, first of all, the condition of direct concern, that there is no reason for interpreting this condition in the third limb of the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU any differently than in the second limb of that provision (opinions of Advocate General Kokott in Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Others v Parliament and Council, C‑583/11 P, ECR, EU:C:2013:21, paragraph 69, and Telefónica v Commission, C‑274/12 P, ECR, EU:C:2013:204, paragraph 59). In any event, the concept of direct concern, as recently introduced in that provision, cannot be subject to a more restrictive interpretation than the notion of direct concern as it appeared in the fourth paragraph of Article 230 EC (judgment of 25 October 2011 in Microban International and Microban (Europe) v Commission, T‑262/10, ECR, EU:T:2011:623, paragraph 32).
