Judgment_paragraph 41 · Estabelecimentos Isidoro M. Oliveira SA v Commission of the European Communities (T-73/95)

41The obligation of a Community institution to give effect to a judgment of annulment delivered by the Community judicature derives from Article 176 of the Treaty. It has been recognized by the Court of Justice that compliance calls for the adoption of a number of administrative measures and is not normally possible immediately: the institution is allowed a reasonable period within which to comply with a judgment annulling one of its decisions. The question whether or not the period was reasonable depends on the nature of the measures to be taken and the attendant circumstances (Case 266/82 Turner v Commission [1984] ECR 1, paragraphs 5 and 6; see also, in a legislative context, Case C-21/94 Parliament v Council [1995] ECR I-1827, paragraph 33).
