45In the present case, first, it cannot be argued that the rule established by Article 1(2) of Second Directive 84/5 and by Article 9(1) of Directive 2009/103 lacked clarity, precision or predictability in its effects. Secondly, it should be recalled that the scope of the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations cannot be extended to the point of generally preventing new rules from applying to the future effects of situations which arose under the earlier rules (judgment of 29 January 2002, Pokrzeptowicz-Meyer, C‑162/00, EU:C:2002:57, paragraph 55 and the case-law cited).
