57In that regard, it should be noted, first, that the objective of Directive 2001/29 is to harmonise only certain aspects of the law on copyright and related rights (judgment in Padawan, EU:C:2010:620, paragraph 35). Second, the general scheme of the directive is circumscribed by a number of its provisions which disclose the intention of the EU legislature to grant a degree of discretion to the Member States in the implementation of the directive, such as Article 5, which sets out a series of exceptions and limitations which the Member States are free to transpose into their national law.
