29In that connection, although it is true that, among the goods or interests protected by Article 36 TFEU, the protection of health and life of humans is ranked in first position and that it is for the Member States, within the limits imposed by the FEU Treaty, to decide the level of protection they wish to afford, in particular, as regards how strict the checks to be carried out are to be, the fact remains that, in accordance with settled case-law, a measure having equivalent effect to a quantitative restriction on imports can be justified, for example, on grounds of the protection of the health and life of humans, within the meaning of that article, only if that measure is appropriate for securing the achievement of the objective pursued and does not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain it (see, to that effect, judgments of 20 May 1976, de Peijper, 104/75, EU:C:1976:67, paragraphs 15 to 17, and of 23 December 2015, Scotch Whisky Association and Others, C‑333/14, EU:C:2015:845, paragraph 33).
