         Operative part of the judgment
      
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Article 58 and Article 60(1) of Directive 2007/64/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 November 2007 on payment services in the internal market, amending Directives 97/7/EC, 2002/65/EC, 2005/60/EC and 2006/48/EC and repealing Directive 97/5/EC must be interpreted as precluding a payment service user from being able to trigger the liability of the provider of those services on the basis of a liability regime other than that provided for by those provisions, in the case where that user has failed to fulfil his or her obligation to notify laid down in that Article 58;
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Article 58 and Article 60(1) of Directive 2007/64 must be interpreted as not precluding the guarantor of a payment service user from relying, by reason of a failure on the part of the payment service provider to fulfil its obligations relating to an unauthorised transaction, on the civil liability of such a provider, which is entitled to the guarantee, in order to challenge the amount of the guaranteed debt, in accordance with a contractual liability regime under the general law.
