45A provision of European Union law is unconditional where it sets forth an obligation which is not qualified by any condition, or subject, in its implementation or effects, to the taking of any measure either by the institutions of the European Union or by the Member States. It is sufficiently precise to be relied on by an individual and applied by a court where it sets out an obligation in unequivocal terms (see, in particular, Cooperativa Agricola Zootecnica S. Antonio and Others, paragraph 19, and Case C-317/05 Pohl-Boskamp [2006] ECR I-10611, paragraph 41).
