45In that regard, it must be borne in mind, first, that, according to the Court’s case-law, EU law requires that, when transposing directives, the Member States take care to rely on an interpretation of them which allows a fair balance to be struck between the various fundamental rights protected by the EU legal order. Subsequently, when implementing the measures transposing those directives, the authorities and courts of the Member States must not only interpret their national law in a manner consistent with those directives but also make sure that they do not rely on an interpretation of them which would be in conflict with those fundamental rights or with the other general principles of EU law (judgment of 16 July 2015, Coty Germany, C‑580/13, EU:C:2015:485, paragraph 34).
