32It is clear from the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU that the standing of a natural or legal person to institute proceedings against an act that is not addressed to him requires, at the very least, that that act, whether or not a regulatory act, is of direct concern to him. The condition that a natural or legal person is directly concerned by the act which is the subject matter of the proceedings requires that the contested measure directly affects the legal situation of the applicant (see, to that effect, judgments of 5 May 1998, Dreyfus v Commission, C‑386/96 P, EU:C:1998:193, paragraph 43 and the case-law cited, and of 13 October 2011, Deutsche Post and Germany v Commission, C‑463/10 P and C‑475/10 P, EU:C:2011:656, paragraph 66).
