29It must be stated in this regard, first, that the legislation at issue in the main proceedings cannot be justified by reliance on grounds of public policy or public security, as provided for in Article 65(1)(b) TFEU. In accordance with settled case-law, such grounds may be relied on only if there is a genuine and sufficiently serious threat to a fundamental interest of society and, moreover, those grounds must not serve purely economic ends (see, to that effect, Case 30/77 Bouchereau [1977] ECR 1999, paragraph 35, and Case C-54/99 Église de scientologie [2000] ECR I-1335, paragraph 17 and the case-law cited).
