47The breach of such positive or negative obligations by a Member State is liable to hinder the exercise by the individuals concerned of the rights implicitly conferred on them under the provisions of EU law in question, rights they are deemed to be able to invoke at national level, and thus to alter the legal situation which those provisions seek to establish for those individuals (see, to that effect, judgments of 4 October 2018, Kantarev, C‑571/16, EU:C:2018:807, paragraphs 103 and 104, and of 10 December 2020, Euromin Holdings (Cyprus), C‑735/19, EU:C:2020:1014, paragraph 90). That is the reason why the full effectiveness of those rules of EU law and the protection of the rights which they are intended to confer require that individuals have the possibility of obtaining redress (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 November 1991, Francovich and Others, C‑6/90 and C‑9/90, EU:C:1991:428, paragraphs 33 and 34) irrespective of whether the provisions in question have direct effect, since direct effect is neither necessary (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 March 1996, Brasserie du pêcheur and Factortame, C‑46/93 and C‑48/93, EU:C:1996:79, paragraphs 18 to 22) nor sufficient in itself (see, to that effect, judgment of 11 June 2015, Berlington Hungary and Others, C‑98/14, EU:C:2015:386, paragraphs 108 and 109) for the first of the three conditions referred to in paragraph 44 above to be satisfied.
