145It should also be pointed out in this regard that, according to the Court’s settled case-law, it is not possible for a national authority to create a legitimate expectation on the part of the beneficiary of aid granted in misapplication of Regulation No 800/2008 that that aid is lawful. In view of the mandatory nature of the supervision of State aid by the Commission under Article 108 TFEU, undertakings to which aid has been granted may not, in principle, entertain any legitimate expectation that the aid is lawful unless it has been granted in compliance with the procedure laid down in that article (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 March 2019, Eesti Pagar, C‑349/17, EU:C:2019:172, paragraph 98 and the case-law cited).
