69Although the criterion of nutritional need of the population of a Member State can play a role in its detailed assessment of the risk which the addition of nutrients to foodstuffs may pose for public health, the absence of such a need cannot, by itself, justify a total prohibition, on the basis of Article 36 of the Treaty, of the marketing of foodstuffs lawfully manufactured and/or marketed in other Member States (see Commission v Denmark, paragraph 54; and Commission v France, paragraphs 59 and 60).
