46With regard, first, to the question of whether the objective pursued by the national rule at issue in the main proceedings, namely the objective of preventing and combating identity and document fraud, may constitute an overriding reason in the public interest capable of justifying a ‘new restriction’ within the meaning of Article 13 of Decision No 1/80, it should be noted, in the first place, that the Court has previously held that the objective of preventing unlawful entry and residence constitutes such an overriding reason (judgment of 7 November 2013, Demir, C‑225/12, EU:C:2013:725, paragraph 41).
