Judgment_paragraph 69 · Gräfendorfer Geflügel- und Tiefkühlfeinkost Produktions GmbH and Others v Hauptzollamt Hamburg and Hauptzollamt Kiel (C-415/20)

69Consequently, it follows from paragraphs 59 to 68 above that the principles of EU law relating to the rights of persons to obtain the repayment of sums of money the payment of which has been imposed on them by a Member State in breach of EU law and the payment of interest on those sums of money must be interpreted as meaning that they apply, generally and without prejudice to the detailed rules for the exercise of those rights in a given case, where it follows from a decision of the Court or a decision of a national court that the payment of export refunds, a financial penalty, anti-dumping duties or import duties has, as the case may be, been refused or imposed by a national authority on the basis either of an incorrect interpretation of EU law or of an incorrect application of that law.
