61Such restrictions can be justified by overriding reasons in the public interest, provided that they are suitable for securing the attainment of the objective pursued and do not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain it, that is to say, if there are no less restrictive measures which would enable the objective to be attained just as effectively (see, to that effect, judgments of 11 December 2007, International Transport Workers’ Federation and Finnish Seamen’s Union, C‑438/05, EU:C:2007:772, paragraph 75; of 10 July 2014, Consorzio Stabile Libor Lavori Pubblici, C‑358/12, EU:C:2014:2063, paragraph 31; and of 11 December 2014, Commission v Spain, C‑576/13, not published, EU:C:2014:2430, paragraphs 47 and 53).
