Judgment_paragraph 81 · Council of the European Union v Growth Energy and Renewable Fuels Association (C-465/16 P)

81While the regulation at issue may indeed place US bioethanol producers at a competitive disadvantage, such a fact, if proven, cannot of itself allow the view to be taken that their legal position was affected by the provisions of that regulation and that those provisions were, therefore, of direct concern to them (see, to that effect, judgments of 28 April 2015, T & L Sugars and Sidul Açúcares v Commission, C‑456/13 P, EU:C:2015:284, paragraph 37, and of 17 September 2015, Confederazione Cooperative Italiane and Others v Anicav and Others, C‑455/13 P, C‑457/13 P and C‑460/13 P, not published, EU:C:2015:616, paragraph 49).
