In the absence of such precision, it is important that other elements, taken from the general context of the measure concerned, enable the underlying aim of that measure to be identified for the purposes of review by the courts of whether it is legitimate and whether the means put in place to achieve it are appropriate and necessary (Case C-411/05 Palacios de la Villa [2007] ECR I-8531, paragraphs 56 and 57; Case C-341/08 Petersen [2010] ECR I-47, paragraph 40; and Case C-45/09 Rosenbladt [2010] ECR I-9391, paragraph 58).
