34Nevertheless, and as regards the sphere under examination, the Court held in paragraph 58 of its judgment of 28 February 2012 in Inter-Environnement Wallonie and Terre wallonne (C‑41/11, EU:C:2012:103) that a national court may, in the light of the existence of an overriding consideration linked to environmental protection and provided that certain conditions defined by that judgment are satisfied, exceptionally be authorised to make use of its national provision enabling it to maintain certain effects of an annulled national measure. It is thus apparent from that judgment that the Court intended to afford, case by case and by way of exception, a national court the power to restructure the effects of annulment of a national provision held to be incompatible with EU law.
