89It is settled case-law that, where the conditions for the right to compensation on the basis of Community law are met, the Member State must compensate the damage caused, within the framework of national law on liability. It must also be observed that the material and formal conditions laid down by the various national laws on compensation for damage cannot be less favourable in such a context than those relating to similar domestic claims and cannot be so framed as to make it in practice impossible or excessively difficult to obtain compensation (see, to that effect, Joined Cases C-6/90 and C-9/90 Francovich and Others [1991] ECR I-5357, paragraphs 42 and 43, and Norbrook Laboratories, paragraph 111).
