Judgment_paragraph 34 · Autoritatea naţională de reglementare în domeniul energiei (ANRE) v Societatea de Producere a Energiei Electrice în Hidrocentrale Hidroelectrica SA (C-648/18)

34A national measure contrary to Article 35 TFEU may be justified on one of the grounds stated in Article 36 TFEU, and by overriding requirements relating to the public interest, provided that the measure is proportionate to the legitimate objective pursued (see judgment of 16 December 2008, Gysbrechts and Santurel Inter, C‑205/07, EU:C:2008:730, paragraph 45). It is for the national authorities to invoke the reasons justifying such measures as prohibitions constituting a derogation from the principle of the free movement of goods.
