Judgment_paragraph 68 · R.L. Trijber v College van Burgemeester en Wethouders van Amsterdam and J. Harmsen v Burgemeester van Amsterdam (C-340/14, C-341/14)

68In that regard, it should at the outset be noted that the referring court has already stated in its decision that that condition pursues an objective which is covered by the concept of ‘overriding reasons relating to the public interest’ within the meaning of Article 4(8) of Directive 2006/123, namely public order, specifically, in this case, preventing criminal offences being committed against prostitutes, in particular human trafficking, forced prostitution and child prostitution, and that, consequently, that condition is justified by an ‘overriding reason relating to the public interest’ within the meaning of Article 10(2)(b) of that directive.
