67It should be recalled, however, that the principle of interpreting national law in conformity with EU law has certain limitations, since that principle, on the one hand, precludes the criminal liability of individuals from being determined or aggravated, on the basis of a framework decision alone, in the absence of any legislation implementing its provisions, in cases where those individuals have committed an offence (see, to that effect, judgments of 8 November 2016, Ognyanov, C‑554/14, EU:C:2016:835, paragraphs 63 and 64, and of 29 June 2017, Popławski, C‑579/15, EU:C:2017:503, paragraph 32) and, on the other hand, precludes an interpretation of national law contra legem (judgment of 29 June 2017, Popławski, C‑579/15, EU:C:2017:503, paragraph 33 and the case-law cited).
