64In paragraph 54 of the judgment in Kremikovtzi (C‑262/11, EU:C:2012:760), the Court stated that, as may be inferred from, inter alia, Article 1(b)(i) and (c) of Regulation No 659/1999, read in conjunction with Article 2 of the 2005 Act of Accession, it is only as from the time of accession that, in Bulgaria, the criteria laid down in Article 87(1) EC may be directly applied as such, and then only in respect of situations that arise on or after that date.
