139The general principle of equal treatment, as a general principle of EU law, requires that comparable situations must not be treated differently and different situations must not be treated in the same way unless such treatment is objectively justified. The comparability of different situations must be assessed with regard to all the elements which characterise them. These elements must in particular be determined and assessed in the light of the subject-matter and purpose of the European Union act which makes the distinction in question. The principles and objectives of the field to which the act relates must also be taken into account (Case C-127/07 Arcelor Atlantique et Lorraine and Others [2008] ECR I-9895, paragraphs 23, 25 and 26 and the case-law cited, and Case C-176/09 Luxembourg v Parliament and Council [2011] ECR I-3727, paragraphs 31 and 32).
