39Thirdly, it must be pointed out that, under the heading ‘Freedom of movement and of residence’, Article 45 of the Charter, relied on by Mr Zeman and referred to by the referring court in its first question, gives ‘[e]very citizen of the Union … the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States’. In accordance with the Explanations on the Charter of Fundamental Rights (OJ 2007 C 303, p. 17), the right guaranteed by Article 45(1) is the right guaranteed by Article 20(2), first subparagraph, (a) TFEU, which right, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 20(2) TFEU, is to be exercised under the conditions and within the limits defined by the Treaties and by the measures adopted pursuant thereto. In so far as Directive 91/477 also concerns the free movement of the holders of firearms, in particular hunters and sport shooters, it constitutes such a measure. Accordingly, it is appropriate to answer the first question in the light of Directive 91/477 alone.
