48As has been repeatedly held by the Court, provisions of a directive that are unconditional and sufficiently precise may be relied upon by individuals against a Member State and all the organs of its administration, as well as against organisations or bodies which are subject to the authority or control of the State or which possess special powers beyond those which result from the normal rules applicable to relations between individuals (judgment of 6 September 2018, Hampshire, C‑17/17, EU:C:2018:674, paragraph 54 and the case-law cited). Organisations or bodies that are required, by a public body, to perform a task in the public interest and have been given, for that purpose, special powers may also be treated as comparable to the State (judgments of 10 October 2017, Farrell, C‑413/15, EU:C:2017:745, paragraph 34, and of 6 September 2018, Hampshire, C‑17/17, EU:C:2018:674, paragraph 55).
