Judgment_paragraph 60 · Gräfendorfer Geflügel- und Tiefkühlfeinkost Produktions GmbH and Others v Hauptzollamt Hamburg and Hauptzollamt Kiel (C-415/20)

60In the second place, it follows from the Court’s settled case-law referred to in paragraphs 51 and 52 above that it is the fact that the payment of a tax, duty, charge or other levy has been imposed by a national authority ‘in breach of EU law’ which forms the basis for and justifies the right, for persons who have wrongly paid the corresponding sum of money, to obtain the repayment of that sum by the Member State which levied it and the payment of interest by that Member State.
