72Under the second paragraph of Article 264 TFEU, the Court may, if it considers it necessary to do so, state which of the effects of an act which it has declared void are to be considered definitive. In exercising the power conferred on it by that article, the Court is to have regard to respect for the principle of legal certainty and other public or private interests (see, to that effect, judgments of 6 September 2012, Parliament v Council, C‑490/10, EU:C:2012:525, paragraph 91; of 22 October 2013, Commission v Council, C‑137/12, EU:C:2013:675, paragraph 81; of 24 June 2014, Parliament v Council, C‑658/11, EU:C:2014:2025, paragraphs 90 and 91, and of 7 September 2016, Germany v Parliament and Council, C‑113/14, EU:C:2016:635, paragraph 83).
