Key legal question
Whether the Farmers' Association had standing to challenge the authorization of imported grated cheese.
Extracted holding
The association lacked the required special, sufficiently close interest; general consumer-protection and fair-trading interests were insufficient.
Extracted reasoning
Its members were only affected by ordinary market competition. No special licensing or quota regime protected them, and the Cassis-de-Dijon authorization did not create the kind of particularized burden needed for third-party or competitor standing.
