54In this respect, it is clear from the Court’s case-law that, in the absence of EU rules, it is for the domestic legal system of each Member State to designate the courts and tribunals having jurisdiction and to lay down the detailed procedural rules governing actions for safeguarding rights which individuals derive from EU law, such as Directive 2008/50. However, the detailed rules provided for must not be less favourable than those governing similar domestic situations (principle of equivalence) and must not make it impossible in practice or excessively difficult to exercise rights conferred by EU law (principle of effectiveness) (see, to that effect, judgments of 6 October 2015, East Sussex County Council, C‑71/14, EU:C:2015:656, paragraph 52, and of 22 February 2018, INEOS Köln, C‑572/16, EU:C:2018:100, paragraph 42). As regards the latter principle, it should be recalled that the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial is enshrined in Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which constitutes a reaffirmation of the principle of effective judicial protection (see, to that effect, judgments of 26 July 2017, Sacko, C‑348/16, EU:C:2017:591, paragraph 31, and of 27 September 2017, Puškár, C‑73/16, EU:C:2017:725, paragraph 59).
