57Nevertheless, that provision reflects a general principle of EU law to the effect that the right to good administration encompasses the obligation of the administration to give reasons for its decisions (see, to that effect, judgment of 17 July 2014, YS and Others, C‑141/12 and C‑372/12, EU:C:2014:2081, paragraph 68). The obligation of the administration to state reasons for a decision which are sufficiently specific and concrete to allow the person concerned to understand the grounds of the individual measure adversely affecting him is thus a corollary of the principle of respect for the rights of the defence, which is a general principle of EU law (see, to that effect, judgments of 22 November 2012, M., C‑277/11, EU:C:2012:744, paragraph 88, and of 11 December 2014, Boudjlida, C‑249/13, EU:C:2014:2431, paragraph 38).
