43It follows that Article 57(5)(a) of Regulation No 865/2006, by exempting the importer of sturgeon caviar from the obligation to present an import permit when the maximum limit of 125 g per person is respected, constitutes a derogation from the principle laid down in Article 4(2) of Regulation No 338/97 and must therefore be interpreted strictly (see, to that effect, judgment of 17 January 2013, Commission v Spain, C‑360/11, EU:C:2013:17, paragraph 18 and the case-law cited).
