30In the context of that determination, it is obliged, inter alia, to take into consideration the particular nature of copyright and to seek an appropriate balance between the interest of composers of music protected by copyright in receiving remuneration for the use of those works and that of users in being able to use those works under reasonable conditions (see, to that effect, judgment of 11 December 2008, Kanal 5 and TV 4, C‑52/07, EU:C:2008:703, paragraphs 30 and 31). In order to ascertain whether the level of the tariffs imposed by the collective management company is fair from the perspective both of the right of authors to appropriate remuneration and of the legitimate interests of users, it is necessary, inter alia, to take account not only of the economic value of the collective management service as such, but also of the nature and scope of the use of the works and of the economic value generated by that use.
