33As regards the Czech Republic’s argument that the General Court erred in law in that, in paragraph 40 of the judgment under appeal, it interpreted the contested regulations in the light of Directive 2010/40, it should be observed that, according to the Court’s settled case-law, secondary acts of EU law must be interpreted as far as possible in conformity with the basic act (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 July 2012, Pie Optiek, C‑376/11, EU:C:2012:502, paragraph 34 and the case-law cited). As follows from paragraphs 27 to 29 above, the General Court’s interpretation of the contested regulations is compatible both with their wording and with Directive 2010/40.
