51In that regard, it should be recalled that the fact that the legislation of a Member State ceases to be applicable constitutes a condition for the application of that provision, and that that provision does not itself define the conditions in which the legislation of a Member State ceases to be applicable (see Commission v Belgium, C‑347/98, EU:C:2001:236, paragraph 31). As the Court has stated, inter alia, in paragraph 33 of the judgment in van Pommeren-Bourgondiën (C‑227/03, EU:C:2005:431), it is for the legislation of each Member State to lay down those conditions.
