36Directive 2001/83 pursues different objectives from those pursued by the CN. In order to maintain the coherence between the interpretation of the CN and that of the HS, which is established by an international convention to which the European Union is a contracting party, the fact that a product has a marketing authorisation as a medicinal product within the meaning of Directive 2001/83 cannot be decisive as regards assessing whether that product falls within the category of ‘medicaments’ within the meaning of CN heading 3004 (see, to that effect, judgments of 12 March 1998, Laboratoires Sarget, C‑270/96, EU:C:1998:103, paragraph 25, and of 4 March 2015, Oliver Medical, C‑547/13, EU:C:2015:139, paragraph 53).
