37As regards whether the circumstances that a marketing authorisation issued following a simplified procedure is personal and that an importer is obliged to name with his own brand name the product which is a parallel import and to pay a charge of EUR 800 under such a procedure are in compliance with Community law, it must be stated that it is for the competent national authorities to ensure that the primary objective of the Community legislation, namely the safeguarding of human and animal health and of the environment, is fully complied with. Nevertheless, the principle of proportionality requires that, in order to protect the free movement of goods, the legislation in question be applied within the limit of what is necessary in order to achieve the aim of protection of the environment and of human and animal health that is legitimately being pursued (Case C-172/00 Ferring [2002] ECR I-6891, paragraph 34, and Case C-112/02 Kohlpharma [2004] ECR I-3369, paragraph 14).
