45The same holds true for the second justification referred to. Considerations of an administrative nature cannot justify derogation by a Member State from the rules of Community law. That principle applies with even greater force where the derogation in question amounts to preventing or restricting the exercise of one of the fundamental freedoms of Community law (see, to that effect, Case 205/84 Commission v Germany [1986] ECR 3755, paragraph 54).
