Judgment_paragraph 65 · Opera Norway AS v European Commission (T-357/24)

65As regards the condition, which has not been relied on in the plea of inadmissibility, that a natural or legal person must be directly concerned by the decision against which the action is brought, as recalled in paragraph 32 above, that condition requires two cumulative criteria to be met, namely, first, the contested measure must directly affect the legal situation of the individual 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 EU rules alone without the application of other intermediate rules (see judgment 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 the case-law cited).
