50Therefore, contrary to what the General Court held in paragraphs 62 to 64 of the judgment under appeal, the case-law referred to in paragraphs 46 and 47 of the present judgment can be applied in a situation in which public contracts are financed from funds granted by the European Union under the CARDS and TACIS programmes. In that regard, it is apparent from the case-law of the Court of Justice that it is the role of the European Union to finance, through its funds, only actions conducted in complete conformity, inter alia, with public procurement principles and rules (see, to that effect, judgments of 14 July 2016, Wrocław – Miasto na prawach powiatu, C‑406/14, EU:C:2016:562, paragraph 43, and of 8 June 2023, ANAS, C‑545/21, EU:C:2023:451, paragraph 31).
