Judgment_paragraph 58 · European Commission v Anthony Braesch and Others (C-284/21 P)

58In that regard, it should be noted that the definition of the concept of ‘party concerned’, as set out in the case-law of the Court of Justice, was codified by the EU legislature in Article 1(h) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article [108 TFEU] (OJ 1999 L 83, p. 1), which was succeeded by Article 1(h) of Regulation 2015/1589. The latter provision defines the analogous concept of ‘interested party’ as ‘any Member State and any person, undertaking or association of undertakings whose interests might be affected by the granting of aid, in particular the beneficiary of the aid, competing undertakings and trade associations’ (see, to that effect, judgment of 2 September 2021, Ja zum Nürburgring v Commission, C‑647/19 P, EU:C:2021:666, paragraph 56 and the case-law cited).
