16First of all, it should be recalled that, according to settled case-law of the Court, where the State has failed to implement a directive in domestic law by the end of the period prescribed or where it has failed to implement the directive correctly, only the provisions of that directive which appear, so far as their subject-matter is concerned, to be unconditional and sufficiently precise may be relied on by individuals before national courts against the State (see, to that effect, judgments of 12 December 2013 in Portgás, C‑425/12, EU:C:2013:829, paragraph 18 and the case-law cited; 14 January 2014 in Association de médiation sociale, C‑176/12, EU:C:2014:2, paragraph 31; and 15 May 2014 in Almos Agrárkülkereskedelmi, C‑337/13, EU:C:2014:328, paragraph 31).
