Judgment_paragraph 51 · Guardian Industries Corp. and Guardian Europe Sàrl v European Commission (C-580/12 P)

51It must be recalled that the principle of equal treatment is a general principle of EU law, enshrined in Articles 20 and 21 of the Charter. According to settled case-law, that principle requires that comparable situations must not be treated differently and that different situations must not be treated in the same way unless such treatment is objectively justified (see, inter alia, Akzo Nobel Chemicals and Akcros Chemicals v Commission, C‑550/07 P, EU:C:2010:512, paragraphs 54 and 55 and the case-law cited).
