Piraiki-Patraiki v Commission (1985) Case 11/82 is an EU law case, concerning judicial review in the European Union.
Greek manufacturers claimed that exports of cotton to France should not be limited, as they had entered contracts to export cotton that were not carried out, when the Commission took a decision.
This decision, based on art 130 of the Greek Act of Accession, allowed France to restrict imports of cotton yarn from Greece.
The Court of Justice held that the exporter with the contract was individually concerned as it was part of a closed group, and annulled the decision where it was concerned.
Regarding direct concern, because possibility that France would not decide to exercise authority was ‘entirely theoretical’, the discretion was not sufficient, in this case, to preclude direct concern.
