38In the present case, the objective pursued by Article 72 of the Law of 6 April 2010 is to protect the interests of consumers, as is moreover apparent from the very title of that law. The protection of consumers is recognised in the case-law as an overriding reason of public interest, capable of justifying a restriction on the freedom to provide services (see Case 286/81 Oosthoek’s Uitgeversmaatschappij [1982] ECR 4575, paragraph 16, and Case 220/83 Commission v France [1986] ECR 3663, paragraph 20).
