33With regard to judicial review of compliance with the principle of proportionality, the Court has thus held that the Community legislature must be allowed a broad discretion in areas which involve political, economic and social choices on its part, and in which it is called upon to undertake complex assessments. It concluded from this that the legality of a measure adopted in those fields can be affected only if the measure is manifestly inappropriate having regard to the objective which the competent institution is seeking to pursue (see, in particular, Case C-344/04 IATA and ELFAA [2006] ECR I-403, paragraph 80 and the case-law there cited).
