32The Court has held consistently that laying down reasonable time-limits for bringing proceedings, under either national law or EU law, serves the interests of legal certainty which protects both the individual and the authorities concerned; such time-limits are not liable to make it in practice impossible or excessively difficult to exercise the rights conferred by EU law (see, to that effect, judgments in Barth, C‑542/08, EU:C:2010:193, paragraph 28, and CIVAD, C‑533/10, EU:C:2012:347, paragraph 23).
