80In that regard, it must be borne in mind that the Court has ruled that the protection of investors is an objective of general interest pursued by the European Union (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 May 2022, Banco Santander (Resolution of Banco Popular), C‑410/20, EU:C:2022:351, paragraph 36 and the case-law cited). The same is true of the objectives of ensuring the stability of the banking and financial system and preventing a systemic risk (judgment of 16 July 2020, Adusbef and Others, C‑686/18, EU:C:2020:567, paragraph 92 and the case-law cited).
