33Furthermore, it must be noted that Article 3(a) of Regulation No 561/2006, in so far as it introduces an exception to the scope of that regulation, must be interpreted strictly. In particular, such an exception may not be interpreted in such a way as to extend its effects beyond what is necessary to safeguard the interests which it seeks to secure, and the scope of that exception must be determined in the light of the aims pursued by the legislation at issue (see, by analogy, judgment of 3 October 2013, Lundberg, C‑317/12, EU:C:2013:631, paragraph 20 and the case-law cited).
