41In that regard, it should be noted that according to the well-established case-law of the Court, a cultural policy may constitute an overriding requirement relating to the general interest which justifies a restriction on the freedom to provide services. The maintenance of the pluralism which that policy seeks to safeguard is connected with freedom of expression, as protected by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, signed at Rome on 4 November 1950, which freedom is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Community legal order (see Case C-288/89 Collectieve Antennevoorziening Gouda [1991] ECR I-4007, paragraph 23; Commission v Netherlands, paragraph 30; Case C-148/91 Veronica Omroep Organisatie [1993] ECR I-487, paragraph 10; and TV10, paragraph 19).
