Judgment_paragraph 22 · Acme Industry & Co. Ltd v Council of the European Union (T-48/96)

22The applicant claims that, according to the principles governing the application of legislation ratione temporis, a law amending a legislative provision applies as a rule to the future consequences of situations which arose under the old law (Case 68/69 Brock [1970] ECR 171, paragraph 6). The Council can only derogate from that principle for compelling reasons of Community interest (Case 92/77 An Bord Bainne [1978] ECR 497 and Case C-345/88 Butterabsatz Osnabrück-Emsland [1990] ECR I-159).
