Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had party status in the EHRA approval procedure for the register entry
Solution extraite
He was not entitled to party status because the entry proceedings are a single-party procedure and his interests were not directly affected in the necessary manner.
Motifs extraits
Only the applicant is a party to the register approval procedure; a third party needs a direct, special and close relation to the matter. The appellant could pursue his private interests via the civil-law objection route under Art. 32(2) HRegV, which excludes administrative standing.
