40In the present case, it is apparent from recitals 2 and 19 as well as from Article 1(1) of Directive 2007/23 that the main purpose of that directive is to counter barriers to trade within the Union that arise due to differences in the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States on the placing on the market of pyrotechnic articles, which it defines, and thus guarantee the free movement of such articles in the internal market, while ensuring a high level of protection of human health and public security and the protection and safety of consumers and professional users.
