35Moreover, since – as has been noted in paragraph 26 above – the NRAs are required, under Article 8(2) of the Framework Directive, to promote competition in the provision of electronic communications networks, electronic communications services and associated facilities and services by, inter alia, ensuring that there is no distortion or restriction of competition in the electronic communications sector, a strict interpretation of Article 4(1) of the Framework Directive to the effect that that provision confers a right of appeal only on persons to whom the decisions of the NRAs are addressed would be difficult to reconcile with the policy objectives and regulatory principles resulting, for the NRAs, from Article 8 of the Framework Directive, and, in particular, with the objective of promoting competition (judgment of 22 January 2015, T-Mobile Austria, C‑282/13, EU:C:2015:24, paragraph 36 and the case-law cited).
