35In that regard, it is necessary, first of all, to reject GRDF’s argument that the decisions of the dispute settlement authority are administrative decisions which cannot produce effects before the dispute between the parties has arisen. Such an interpretation would run counter to the objectives of Directive 2009/73 and would undermine its useful effect. Like the European Commission in its written submissions, it is worth recalling the Court’s consistent case-law that the obligation to give full effect to EU law, including by erasing the consequences of an infringement of EU law, is imposed on national courts, but also, within the framework of their respective powers, on all the organs of the Member State concerned, including the administrative authorities (see, to that effects, judgments of 12 June 1990, Germany v Commission, C‑8/88, EU:C:1990:241, paragraph 13; of 7 January 2004, Wells, C‑201/02, EU:C:2004:12, paragraph 64, and of 4 December 2018, Minister for Justice and Equality and Commissioner of An Garda Síochána, C‑378/17, EU:C:2018:979, paragraphs 38 and 39).
