Judgment_paragraph 36 · Silos e Mangimi Martini SpA v Ministero delle Finanze (C-228/99)

36In accordance with that case-law, the Court has used the possibility of limiting the temporal effect of a declaration that a Community measure is invalid where overriding considerations of legal certainty involving all the interests, public as well as private, at stake in the cases concerned precluded the calling into question of the charging or payment of sums of money effected on the basis of that measure in respect of the period prior to the date of the judgment (see, inter alia, Case 4/79 Providence agricole de la Champagne [1980] ECR 2823, paragraphs 45 and 46, and Case 41/84 Pinna [1986] ECR 1, paragraph 28).
