Judgment_paragraph 25 · Maria Eugenia Van der Weegen and Others v Belgische Staat (C-580/15)

25In order to answer that question, it is appropriate, first, to state that, although such national legislation was capable of coming within the scope of the two fundamental freedoms alluded to by the referring court, the fact remains that any restrictive effects which that legislation might have on the free movement of capital would be no more than the inevitable consequence of any restrictions on the freedom to provide services. Where a national measure relates to several fundamental freedoms at the same time, the Court will in principle examine the measure in relation to only one of those freedoms if it appears, in the circumstances of the case, that the other freedoms are entirely secondary in relation to the first and may be considered together with it (see, by analogy, judgments of 8 September 2009, Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional and Bwin International, C‑42/07, EU:C:2009:519, paragraph 47, and of 11 March 2010, Attanasio Group, C‑384/08, EU:C:2010:133, paragraph 40; and order of 28 September 2016, Durante, C‑438/15, not published, EU:C:2016:728, paragraph 14).
