36In the same vein, the Court has already held that Article 13 EC (now Article 19 TFEU) could not, as such, bring within the scope of EU law, for the purposes of the application of fundamental rights as general principles of EU law, a national measure which does not come within the framework of the measures adopted on the basis of that article (see, to that effect, Case C‑427/06 Bartsch EU:C:2008:517, paragraph 18; Case C‑555/07 Kücükdeveci EU:C:2010:21, paragraph 25; and Case C‑147/08 Römer EU:C:2011:286, paragraph 61). Consequently, the mere fact that a national measure comes within an area in which the European Union has powers cannot bring it within the scope of EU law, and, therefore, cannot render the Charter applicable (see, to that effect, Joined Cases C‑483/09 and C‑1/10 Gueye and Salmerón Sánchez EU:C:2011:583, paragraphs 55, 69 and 70, and Case C‑370/12 Pringle EU:C:2012:756, paragraphs 104, 105, 180 and 181).
