law://eu/cjeu/2023/c-773-23/para_42@2026-11-13

42In that regard, it should be noted that it is apparent from the case-law that an intervener is directly affected, for the purposes of the second sentence of the second paragraph of Article 56 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union, where the decision of the General Court which it seeks to have set aside brings about a detrimental change in its legal position or adversely affects its interests, on account of necessary measures which that party is required to take in order to comply with that decision (see, to that effect, judgments of 24 September 2002, Falck and Acciaierie di Bolzano v Commission, C‑74/00 P and C‑75/00 P, EU:C:2002:524, paragraph 58, and of 2 October 2003, International Power and Others v NALOO, C‑172/01 P, C‑175/01 P, C‑176/01 P and C‑180/01 P, EU:C:2003:534, paragraphs 52 and 53).
