40With regard, in the second place, to General Court’s alleged infringement of the principle that offences and penalties must be defined by law, it should be observed that, according to the Court’s case-law, that principle requires the law to give a clear definition of offences and the penalties which they attract. That requirement is satisfied where the individual concerned is in a position to ascertain from the wording of the relevant provision and, if need be, with the assistance of the courts’ interpretation of it, what acts and omissions will make him criminally liable (judgment in Evonik Degussa v Commission, C‑266/06 P, EU:C:2008:295, paragraph 39 and the case-law cited).
