51In accordance with the principle of legal certainty, Community law does not require that administrative bodies be placed under an obligation, in principle, to reopen an administrative decision which has become final upon expiry of the reasonable time-limits for legal remedies or by exhaustion of those remedies (see Kühne & Heitz, paragraph 24). Compliance with that principle prevents administrative acts which produce legal effects from being called into question indefinitely (see, by analogy, Case C-310/97 Commission v AssiDomän Kraft Products and Others [1999] ECR I-5363, paragraph 61).
