45This is particularly important in the case of administrative authorities whose independence is a direct consequence of the requirements arising under EU law which confers on them powers of scrutiny in the sector and powers to supervise markets. Although those authorities may satisfy the criteria listed in paragraph 41 above, arising from the judgment of 30 June 1966, Vaassen-Göbbels (61/65, EU:C:1966:39), the activity of regulating the sector and supervising the markets is essentially administrative in nature (see, by analogy, judgment of 12 November 1998, Victoria Film, C‑134/97, EU:C:1998:535, paragraph 15), inasmuch as it involves the exercise of powers which are unrelated to those conferred on the courts.
