90In this connection, it should be observed that Article 85(1) and Article 86 produce direct effects in relations between individuals and confer rights on the individuals concerned which the national courts must safeguard (see the judgment of the Court of Justice in BRT, cited above). The power to apply those provisions is vested concurrently in the Commission and the national courts (see, in particular, the judgment in Delimitis, cited above). That conferral of competence is moreover characterized by the duty of sincere cooperation between the Commission and the national courts, arising under Article 5 of the EEC Treaty (see the judgment in Delimitis, cited above).
