73However, as has been held previously, the fact that a directive does not per se bind the institutions does not preclude rules or principles laid down in that directive from being relied on as against institutions when they are not themselves set out as the specific expression of fundamental rules of the Treaty and general principles that are directly binding on those institutions (see, to that effect, judgments of 9 September 2003, Rinke, C‑25/02, EU:C:2003:435, paragraphs 25 to 28; 21 September 2011, Adjemian and Others v Commission, T‑325/09 P, EU:T:2011:506, paragraph 56; and 30 April 2009, Aayhan and Others v Parliament, F‑65/07, EU:F:2009:43, paragraph 113).
