64A national measure in a sphere which has been the subject of exhaustive harmonisation at Community level must be assessed in the light of the provisions of the harmonising measure and not those of the Treaty (see Case C-37/92 Vanacker and Lesage [1993] ECR I-4947, paragraph 9, and Case C-324/99 DaimlerChrysler [2001] ECR I-9897, paragraph 32). However, the power conferred on Member States by Article 14(1) of Directive 97/7 must be exercised with due regard for the Treaty, as is expressly stated in that provision.
