49In that regard, it should be pointed out that establishing 50 years of age as the age limit for admission to the competition to access the profession of notary leads to an increased number of available positions which may be occupied by young candidates and is thus likely to constitute an appropriate means of achieving the aim of facilitating the natural turnover and rejuvenation of that profession, provided, however, that such a measure does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that aim and does not unduly prejudice the interests of the persons concerned. It is for the national court, in that context, to take into account not only the fitness of those persons to practise that profession, but also the hardship that measure may cause to the persons concerned (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 November 2012, Commission v Hungary, C‑286/12, EU:C:2012:687, paragraph 66).
