Summary
The legal interest of a consumers' association in maintaining an action for annulment of a Commission decision refusing to recognise it as an interested party for the purposes of an anti-dumping proceeding can continue to exist even when that decision has already been implemented.
The annulment of such a decision is capable, of itself, of having legal consequences and particularly that of preventing a repetition of the Commission's practice.
