45In that context, it is immaterial whether, in some circumstances, the contested measure affects, as well as nationals of other Member States, nationals of the Member State in question who are unable to meet such a criterion. In order for a measure to be treated as being indirectly discriminatory, it is not necessary for it to have the effect of placing all the nationals of the Member State in question at an advantage or of placing at a disadvantage only nationals of other Member States, but not nationals of the State in question (see, to that effect, Case C-388/01 Commission v Italy [2003] ECR I-721, paragraph 14; Commission v Netherlands, paragraph 38; and Case C-172/11 Erny [2012] ECR, paragraph 41).
