Judgment_paragraph 107 · Council of the European Union v Growth Energy and Renewable Fuels Association (C-465/16 P)

107In that regard, the Court of Justice has held that a natural or legal person enjoying procedural rights in the context of the adoption of an EU act will not, as a rule, where there is any type of procedural guarantee, have standing to bring proceedings contesting the legality of that act in terms of its substantive content. The precise scope of an individual’s right of action against an EU measure depends on his legal position as defined by EU law with a view to protecting the legitimate interests thus afforded him (judgments of 25 October 1977, Metro SB-Großmärkte v Commission, 26/76, EU:C:1977:167, paragraph 13, and of 4 October 1983, Fediol v Commission, 191/82, EU:C:1983:259, paragraph 31, and order of 5 May 2009, WWF-UK v Council, C‑355/08 P, not published, EU:C:2009:286, paragraph 44).
