Question juridique clé
Whether X. AG had standing to appeal the recognition of a competing inspection body.
Solution extraite
No. A competitor is not entitled to appeal merely because competition is increased; no special protected proximity existed here.
Motifs extraits
The scheme for inspection bodies does not create an exclusivity relationship. The rules deliberately broaden access by allowing foreign inspection bodies to be recognized if equivalence is shown, so the appellant was not specially affected in the legally relevant sense.
