57As regards the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations, it should be borne in mind, as is apparent from paragraph 191 of the judgment under appeal, that, in accordance with the settled case-law of the Court of Justice, the right to rely on that principle extends to any person whom an institution of the European Union has caused, by giving him precise assurances, to entertain justified expectations. By contrast, a person may not plead breach of that principle unless he has been given those assurances (see, to that effect, judgments of 13 September 2017, Pappalardo and Others v Commission, C‑350/16 P, EU:C:2017:672, paragraph 39, and of 21 February 2018, Kreuzmayr, C‑628/16, EU:C:2018:84, paragraph 46).
