38Although, according to the case-law of the Court, WTO provisions do not have direct effect (see judgment in Van Parys, C‑377/02, EU:C:2005:121), the referring court points out that it is nevertheless possible for the Court to review the legality of EU legislation in the light of WTO agreements if that legislation was adopted specifically to ensure the implementation of WTO provisions or if it refers expressly to specific provisions of the WTO agreements (see judgments in Nakajima v Council, C‑69/89, EU:C:1991:186, paragraph 31; FIAMM and FIAMM Technologies v Council and Commission, T‑69/00, EU:T:2005:449, paragraph 114, and Fedon & Figli and Others v Council and Commission, T‑135/01, EU:T:2005:454, paragraph 107).
