33As a preliminary point, since the Commission alleges infringement by the Kingdom of Belgium of both Article 49 TFEU and Article 63 TFEU, it should be borne in mind that, in order to ascertain whether national legislation falls within the ambit of one or other of those fundamental freedoms, the purpose of the legislation concerned must be taken into consideration (see, in particular, Case C-157/05 Holböck [2007] ECR I-4051, paragraph 22; Case C-326/07 Commission v Italy [2009] ECR I-2291, paragraph 33, Case C-543/08 Commission v Portugal [2010] ECR I-11241, paragraph 40, and Case C-212/09 Commission v Portugal [2011] ECR I-10889, paragraph 41).
