10 0 Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws (the Regulation on consumer protection cooperation) (OJ 2004 L 364, p. 1).

13 3 See the definition of ‘intérêt’ (‘interest’) in Littré, E., Dictionnaire de la langue française, Paris,
L. Hachette, 1873-1874, which contrasts ‘the individual, private or personal interest, the advantage of a person’ with ‘the public interest, the advantage of the State, of society’ (free translation). Also see the definition of that concept in Lalande, A., Vocabulaire technique et critique de la philosophie, Presses universitaires de France, Paris, 1997, 4th edition, p. 531, according to which the collective interest is not the sum of the individual interests of the members of a sector or group, for example, but refers to the interests of a group of individuals (which cannot be considered indivisibly) because it forms a whole. That concept is used in certain specific sectors and, in particular, in the context of the protection of a collective body, of a profession or of consumers by consumer associations.
