85Thirdly, as stated in paragraph 51 above, such national legislation must, in compliance with the principle of proportionality, be necessary and genuinely meet an objective of general interest recognised by the Union. It is therefore necessary to go on to verify whether it meets an objective of general interest recognised by the Union and, if so, whether it complies with the principle of proportionality (see, to that effect, judgments of 5 July 2017, Fries, C‑190/16, EU:C:2017:513, paragraph 39, and of 12 July 2018, Spika and Others, C‑540/16, EU:C:2018:565, paragraph 40).
