79In the present case, the Kingdom of Belgium cannot rely on one of the grounds of general interest defined in Article 36 TFEU or one of the overriding requirements laid down in the case-law of the Court, since it is apparent from the foregoing that, except in the case of temporary registration, Directive 1999/37 does not allow the Member States to require a document other than the registration certificate for the registration of a vehicle that has previously been registered in another Member State. In cases where a matter has been regulated in a harmonised manner at European Union level, any national measure relating thereto must be assessed in the light of the provisions of that harmonising measure and not in the light of primary law (see, to that effect, Case C-37/92 Vanacker and Lesage [1993] ECR I-4947, paragraph 9; Case C-324/99 DaimlerChrysler [2001] ECR I-9897, paragraph 32; and Case C-132/08 Lidl Magyarország [2009] ECR I-3841, paragraph 42).
