86It also follows from the case-law that any individual is entitled to rely on that principle in a situation in which an institution of the European Union, by giving that person precise assurances, has led him to entertain well-founded expectations. Such assurances, in whatever form they are given, constitute precise, unconditional and consistent information. The assurances given must, moreover, comply with the relevant rules (see judgments of 18 July 2007, EAR v Karatzoglou, C‑213/06 P, EU:C:2007:453, paragraph 33 and the case-law cited, and of 16 December 2010, Kahla Thüringen Porzellan v Commission, C‑537/08 P, EU:C:2010:769, paragraph 63 and the case-law cited).
