57Although that argument appears to be based on the premiss that CPL(A) licences granted by decisions that have become final will have to be revoked, it should be borne in mind, without prejudice to the case-law cited in paragraph 53 above, that, in accordance with the principle of legal certainty, EU law does not require that administrative bodies be placed under an obligation, in principle, to reopen an administrative decision which has become final upon expiry of reasonable periods for legal remedies or by the exhaustion of remedies. Compliance with that principle prevents administrative acts which produce legal effects from being called into question indefinitely (see, to that effect, judgments of 13 January 2004, Kühne & Heitz, C‑453/00, EU:C:2004:17, paragraphs 22 and 24, and of 14 May 2020, Országos Idegenrendézeti Főigazgatóság Dél-alföldi Regionális Igazgatóság, C‑924/19 PPU and C‑925/19 PPU, EU:C:2020:367, paragraph 186 and the case-law cited).
