26However, the referring court notes that, in a similar case concerning the correction of the amounts of production levies in the sugar sector for the 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 marketing years, Cargill Deutschland had, as a result of a decision of the Principal Customs Office, Krefeld, of 7 May 2018 based on Regulation 2018/264, obtained partial reimbursement of the levies which it had unduly paid, even though the applicable limitation periods under national law had expired. That reimbursement had been possible following, first, the delivery of the judgment of 9 February 2017, Raffinerie Tirlemontoise (C‑585/15, EU:C:2017:105), by which the Court declared Regulation No 2267/2000 and Regulation No 1993/2001, which determined the rate of those levies, to be invalid, and, second, the consecutive adoption of Regulation 2018/264, which set those rates again without expressly requiring that those limitation periods be taken into account.
