34In accordance with the wording of Article 26 of Regulation No 882/2004, read in the light of recital 32 of that regulation, Member States have a broad discretion to make available, in particular in the context of their general taxation, adequate financial resources to provide the necessary staff and other resources for official controls. On the other hand, that discretion is governed by the harmonised rules laid down in Article 27 of Regulation No 882/2004, where Member States decide to impose the fees or charges referred to in that article on operators (see, to that effect, judgment of 17 March 2016, Kødbranchens Fællesråd, C‑112/15, EU:C:2016:185, paragraphs 31 and 32).
