Summary
Under the second paragraph of Article 37 of the Statute of the Court of Justice, the right to intervene is subject only to the condition that the applicant for leave to intervene establishes an interest in the result of the case submitted to the Court of First Instance.
In an action for annulment of Directive 96/34 on the framework agreement on parental leave, brought by an organization which represents at European level the interests of craft, small and medium-sized enterprises but which was not able to participate in the collective bargaining which preceded the adoption of the directive, an interest in the result of the case is established by national associations which are members of the applicant, represent the same interests at national level and are able to demonstrate an interest of their own, distinct from that of the applicant and connected with the limitation imposed by the directive on their freedom of negotiation at the stage of the adoption of national measures for the transposition of the directive.
