62Nevertheless, as the Court has held, it cannot be inferred from Article 6(1) of Directive 2000/78 that a lack of precision in the national legislation at issue in the main proceedings as regards the aim pursued automatically excludes the possibility that it may be justified under that provision. In the absence of such precision, it is important that other elements, derived from the general context of the measure concerned, should make it possible to identify the underlying aim of that measure for the purposes of review by the courts as to its legitimacy and as to whether the means put in place to achieve that aim are appropriate and necessary (judgments in Palacios de la Villa, C‑411/05, EU:C:2007:604, paragraphs 56 and 57, and Commission v Hungary, C‑286/12, EU:C:2012:687, paragraph 58).
