32From that point of view, the judgments of 21 December 2011, Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de l’Indre (C‑465/10, EU:C:2011:867), and of 18 December 2014, Somvao (C‑599/13, EU:C:2014:2462), to which the General Court referred in paragraphs 59 and 60 of the judgment under appeal, merely state that, where there is a sectoral rule governing the recovery of amounts due, that rule must apply as a lex specialis, instead of the lex generalis, which Regulation No 2988/95 constitutes. In any event, since, in the cases that gave rise to those two judgments, there was a sectoral rule, the Court did not have to consider whether that regulation could constitute an autonomous basis for recovery, in the absence of sectoral legislation.
