51It must be borne in mind that, in accordance with settled case-law (see, in particular, Case 8/81 Becker [1982] ECR 53, paragraph 25, Case C-193/91 Mohsche [1993] ECR I-2615, paragraph 17, and Case C-134/99 IGI [2000] ECR I-7717, paragraph 36), wherever the provisions of a directive appear, so far as their subject-matter is concerned, to be unconditional and sufficiently precise, those provisions may, in the absence of implementing measures adopted within the prescribed period, be relied upon as against any national provision which is incompatible with the directive or in so far as the provisions define rights which individuals are able to assert against the State.
