56Third, the Commission contends that the applicant cannot base any argument on the fact that the Rouen customs office accepted the first declaration without making any comment on it. A person may not plead a breach of the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations unless the administration has given him precise assurances (Case T-571/93 Lefebvre and Others v Commission [1995] ECR II-2379, paragraph 72). The Commission also contends that the applicant, as a customs agent, could not have had any doubts as to the meaning of the letters ‘ACD’ and thus could not have founded any legitimate expectation on the initial acceptance of its customs declarations.
