43In that regard, it is clear from the Court’s settled case-law that the principle of State liability for loss and damage caused to individuals as a result of breaches of EU law for which the State can be held responsible is inherent in the system of the treaties on which the European Union is based (judgment of 18 January 2022, Thelen Technopark Berlin, C‑261/20, EU:C:2022:33, paragraph 42 and the case-law cited). That principle applies to any case in which a Member State infringes EU law, whichever public authority is responsible for the breach (judgment of 19 December 2019, Deutsche Umwelthilfe, C‑752/18, EU:C:2019:1114, paragraph 55 and the case-law cited).
