28In light of the above considerations, the answer to the question referred must be that the principle of cooperation arising from Article 10 EC imposes on an administrative body an obligation to review a final administrative decision, where an application for such review is made to it, in order to take account of the interpretation of the relevant provision given in the meantime by the Court where— under national law, it has the power to reopen that decision;— the administrative decision in question has become final as a result of a judgment of a national court ruling at final instance;— that judgment is, in the light of a decision given by the Court subsequent to it, based on a misinterpretation of Community law which was adopted without a question being referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling under the third paragraph of Article 234 EC; and— the person concerned complained to the administrative body immediatelyafter becoming aware of that decision of the Court.
