      Operative part of the judgment
   
   The first paragraph of Article 183 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as amended by Council Directive 2010/45/EU of 13 July 2010, must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which limits to a set maximum amount the compensation of certain tax debts by value added tax credits, for each taxation period, to the extent that national law provides in any event the possibility for the taxable person to recover the full value added tax credit within a reasonable period.
