90In this respect, in the context of a restriction of freedom of establishment, the Court has held that the protection of the established rights of a category of persons constitutes an overriding reason in the public interest which justifies that restriction, provided that the restrictive measure does not go beyond what is necessary for that protection (see, to that effect, Case C-456/05 Commission v Germany [2007] ECR I-10517, paragraphs 63 and 65).
