89The Court points out that concerning, in this instance, decisions with important budgetary implications, it is in the interests both of the Member State concerned and of the Commission that the length of the procedure for financial corrections be predictable, which implies the setting of a predetermined time-limit for adopting the final decision. It should also be stated that failing to comply with the time-limit laid down for adopting a decision on financial corrections is not compatible with the general principle of sound administration (judgments in Spain v Commission, C‑192/13 P, EU:C:2014:2156, paragraph 88, and Spain v Commission, C‑197/13 P, EU:C:2014:2157, paragraph 88).
