55According to settled case-law of the Court of Justice, recalled by the General Court in paragraph 36 of the judgment under appeal, the condition that a natural or legal person must be directly concerned by the decision against which the action is brought, as provided for in the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU, requires two cumulative criteria to be met, namely, first, that that decision must directly affect the legal situation of that person and, second, it must leave no discretion to its addressees who are entrusted with the task of implementing it, such implementation being purely automatic and resulting from the EU rules alone without the application of other intermediate rules (see to that effect, inter alia, judgments of 6 November 2018, Scuola Elementare Maria Montessori v Commission, Commission v Scuola Elementare Maria Montessori and Commission v Ferracci, C‑622/16 P to C‑624/16 P, EU:C:2018:873, paragraph 42, and of 15 July 2021, Deutsche Lufthansa v Commission, C‑453/19 P, EU:C:2021:608, paragraph 83).
