37In that regard, it should be added, first, that it is clear from Article 2 of Regulation No 2988/95, in particular from paragraph 3 thereof, in conjunction with the fifth and eighth recitals to the regulation, that it is for the EU legislature to lay down sectoral rules establishing administrative penalties, following the example of those which already existed in the sphere of the common agricultural policy when the regulation was adopted. Furthermore, as is apparent from the seventh recital to Regulation No 2988/95, the latter seeks to establish general rules applicable to such sectoral rules.
