121According to settled case‑law, the right to property under European Union law does not enjoy absolute protection. Consequently, the exercise of the right to property may be restricted, provided that those restrictions in fact correspond to objectives of public interest pursued by the European Union and do not constitute, in relation to the aim pursued, a disproportionate and intolerable interference, impairing the very substance of the right so guaranteed (see Case C-84/95 Bosphorus [1996] ECR I-3953, paragraph 21; Kadi and Al Barakaat International Foundation v Council and Commission, paragraph 355; and Case C-548/09 P Bank Melli Iran v Council [2011] ECR I-11381, paragraphs 89, 113 and 114).
