39It is true that, under Article 260(1) TFEU, if the Court finds that a Member State has failed to fulfil an obligation under the Treaties, that Member State is required to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the Court. In addition, it follows from settled case-law that the competent national courts and administrative authorities are required to take all appropriate measures to enable EU law to be fully applied and are thus required to disapply, if the circumstances so require, a provision of national law which is contrary to EU law (see, to that effect, judgments of 13 July 1972, Commission v Italy, 48/71, EU:C:1972:65, paragraph 7, and of 16 December 2010, Seydaland Vereinigte Agrarbetriebe, C‑239/09, EU:C:2010:778, paragraphs 52 and 53 and the case-law cited).
