Court of Justice (Grand Chamber) 13 March 2018, C-384/16 P (European Union Copper Task Force v European Commission.)

Also known as

The Court's judgment addresses the appeal by the European Union Copper Task Force against the General Court's decision rejecting their action for annulment of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/408, which identifies copper compounds as candidates for substitution under Regulation No 1107/2009. The Court ruled that the appellant was not individually concerned by the regulation, as their members were affected in the same manner as any other producers, thus rendering the action inadmissible. The Court also affirmed that the regulation entails implementing measures and clarified the criteria for determining individual concern under Article 263 TFEU.AI
