63The Court has stated that a provision of EU law is, first, unconditional where it sets forth an obligation which is not qualified by any condition, or subject, in its implementation or effects, to the taking of any measure either by the institutions of the European Union or by the Member States other than the measure transposing it into national law and, second, sufficiently precise to be relied on by an individual and applied by a court where it sets out an obligation in unequivocal terms (see, to that effect, judgments of 3 April 1968, Molkerei-Zentrale Westfalen v Lippe, 28/67, EU:C:1968:17, p. 153; of 26 February 1986, Marshall, 152/84, EU:C:1986:84, paragraph 52; and of 8 March 2022, Bezirkshauptmannschaft Hartberg-Fürstenfeld (Direct effect), C‑205/20, EU:C:2022:168, paragraph 18).
