Actions for annulment - Natural or legal persons - Measures of direct and individual concern to them - Regulation excluding the use of certain pest control products in organic farming - Action brought by producers who habitually use one of the excluded products - Inadmissible(EC Treaty, Art. 173; Commission Regulation No 1488/97)
Summary
An action contesting Regulation No 1488/97 - amending Regulation No 2092/91 and excluding certain products from the list of products which may be used for the purposes of pest and disease control in the organic production of agricultural products - brought by farmers who habitually use one of the excluded products is inadmissible.
In the first place, the Regulation in question is addressed in abstract and general terms to undetermined classes of persons; it applies to objectively determined situations; and it is directed to the applicants only in their objective capacity as producers of organic agricultural products, in the same way as any other operator who is actually or potentially in an identical situation. Secondly, on the facts, the applicants in the present case are not individually concerned by that Regulation.
