94While it is apparent from the above that legislation such as that at issue in the cases before the referring court is generally appropriate to attaining the objective of ensuring that the provision of medicinal products to the public is reliable and of good quality, it is also essential that the way in which that legislation pursues that objective is not inconsistent. According to the case-law of the Court, the various rules – and the national legislation as a whole – are appropriate for ensuring attainment of the objective relied upon only if they genuinely reflect a concern to attain that objective in a consistent and systematic manner (see, to that effect, Hartlauer, paragraph 55, and Apothekerkammer des Saarlandes and Others, paragraph 42).
