48In the second place, since, in this instance, it is common ground that Directive 2014/104 was transposed into Spanish law five months after the expiry of the time limit for transposition provided for in Article 21 thereof, as Royal Decree-Law No 9/2017 transposing that directive entered into force on 27 May 2017, it is necessary, in order to determine the temporal applicability of Article 10 of that directive, to ascertain whether the situation at issue in the main proceedings arose before the expiry of the time limit for the transposition of the directive or whether it continued to produce effects after the expiry of that time limit.
