40Furthermore, nothing in the objectives of EU trade mark legislation, such as the objective of contributing to the system of undistorted competition in the Union (see, in particular, to that effect, judgments of 4 October 2001, Merz & Krell, C‑517/99, EU:C:2001:510, paragraphs 21 and 22, and of 14 September 2010, Lego Juris v OHIM, C‑48/09 P, EU:C:2010:516, paragraph 38), supports the conclusion that the purpose of that legislation requires that the proprietor of an individual trade mark consisting of a quality label must be able to oppose, on the basis of Article 9(1)(a) and (b) of Regulation No 207/2009 or Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 2008/95, the affixing, by the manufacturer of a product, of that label together with the result of the test to which the product was subjected.
