34Moreover, as the Court has repeatedly held, Community legislation must be certain and its application foreseeable by those subject to it (Case C-301/97 Netherlands v Council [2001] ECR I-8853, paragraph 43). That requirement of legal certainty must be observed all the more strictly in the case of rules liable to entail financial consequences, in order that those concerned may know precisely the extent of the obligations which they impose on them (see Case 326/85 Netherlands v Commission [1987] ECR 5091, paragraph 24).
