41Since, in that regard, the referring court makes reference, in particular, to Article 41 of the Charter regarding the right to good administration, it is important to point out that that article is addressed to the institutions, bodies, offices or agencies of the European Union and not to the institutions, bodies, offices or agencies of the Member States, with the result that an individual may not rely directly on that article in respect of national authorities (see, to that effect, judgment of 17 July 2014, YS and Others, C‑141/12 and C‑372/12, EU:C:2014:2081, paragraph 67). However, where a Member State implements EU law, the requirements pertaining to the right to good administration, as a general principle of EU law, including the right of any person to have his or her affairs handled impartially and within a reasonable period of time, are applicable in a procedure conducted by the competent national authority (see, to that effect, judgment of 8 May 2014, N., C‑604/12, EU:C:2014:302, paragraphs 49 and 50, and of 10 February 2022, Bezirkshauptmannschaft Hartberg-Fürstenfeld (Limitation period), C‑219/20, EU:C:2022:89, paragraph 37).
