190As regards Deltafina’s first complaint, it should be borne in mind, first of all, that the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations is among the fundamental principles of the European Union (Case 112/80Dürbeck [1981] ECR 1095, paragraph 48). According to the case-law, the right to rely on that principle assumes that three conditions are satisfied. First, precise, unconditional and consistent assurances originating from authorised and reliable sources must have been given to the person concerned by the administration. Second, those assurances must be such as to give rise to a legitimate expectation on the part of the person to whom they are addressed. Third, the assurances given must be consistent with the applicable rules (see Case T-145/06Omya v Commission [2009] ECR II-145, paragraph 117 and the case-law cited; see also, to that effect, Case T-13/03Nintendo and Nintendo of Europe v Commission [2009] ECR II-947, paragraph 203 and the case-law cited).
