Judgment_paragraph 13 · Fratelli Variola S.p.A. v Amministrazione italiana delle Finanze (34/73)

13Article 33 of Regulation No 120/67 provides that the arrangements set out therein were effective from 1 July 1967 and that Regulation No 19/62 was repealed with effect from the same date.In the absence of valid provision to the contrary, repeal of a Regulation does not mean abolition of the individual rights which it has created.Moreover, the prohibitions, contained in Articles 18 and 20 of Regulation No 90/62, against States levying charges having equivalent effect to customs duties, were repealed by Articles 18 and 21 of Regulation No 120/67.It follows from this that the rights created in favour of private parties under Articles 18 and 20 of Regulation No 19/62 remained in force, without interruption, after Regulation No 120/67 came into effect.
