Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Gasverbund Mittelland AG had standing to appeal the refusal of the tunnel permit.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The operator was directly affected in its financial interests because the service agreement could expose it to compensation claims.
Motivazione estratta
Although the permit was addressed to the grower, the operator had a specific, own legal interest and a direct financial stake, not merely a general public interest.
