35As the Advocate General observed in point 33 of his Opinion, and as is apparent from Articles 6 to 8 of Directive 2015/849, the risk-based approach requires an assessment of the risk undertaken, within the framework of the system established by that directive, at three levels, that is, first of all, at EU level, by the Commission, then, at Member State level and, finally, at obliged entity level. As is apparent from recital 30 in the preamble to the directive, the application by those entities of appropriate due diligence measures to the customer concerned depends on that assessment. In fact, according to the case-law of the Court of Justice, without such assessment, it is not possible for either the Member State concerned or, as the case may be, the said entities to decide in an individual case what measures to apply (see, by analogy, judgment of 10 March 2016, Safe Interenvíos, C‑235/14, EU:C:2016:154, paragraph 107).
