Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the parties had standing and the Federal Administrative Court decision was appealable.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Both parties had standing; the appeals were admissible except for the administration's declaratory request, which lacked a protected interest.
Extrahierte Begründung
The challenged decision was a public-law matter open to appeal to the Federal Supreme Court; a declaratory ruling was unnecessary because a merits decision could be issued.
