31According to the Court’s well-established case-law, such a restriction of one of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the TFEU is permissible only if it pursues a legitimate objective compatible with that Treaty and is justified by overriding reasons in the public interest. Even if that were so, application of that measure would still have to be appropriate for securing the attainment of the objective pursued and not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain that objective (see, inter alia, the order in Kovács, C‑5/13, EU:C:2013:705, paragraph 31 and the case-law cited).
