35In the first place, as regards the Commission’s argument concerning its obligation under Article 266 TFEU, it should be recalled that, under that article, the institution whose act has been declared void is required to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment annulling that act. The Court has held in this regard that, in order to comply with such a judgment and to implement it fully, the institution concerned is required to have regard not only to the operative part of that judgment but also to the grounds which led to the judgment and constitute the essential basis for it, in so far as they are necessary to determine the exact meaning of what is stated in the operative part (judgment of 26 April 1988 in Asteris and Others v Commission, 97/86, 99/86, 193/86 and 215/86, EU:C:1988:199, paragraph 27).
