40Although it is for the referring court, which alone has jurisdiction to interpret and apply national law, to decide whether, in the present case, in relation to the infringement committed, the suspension of the tobacconist’s shop trading licence, in addition to the fine imposed, is proportionate to the attainment of the legitimate objective pursued by the prohibition on selling tobacco products to minors, namely the protection of human health and the reduction, in particular, of smoking prevalence among young people, the fact remains that the Court may provide it with all the criteria for the interpretation of EU law which may enable it to determine whether that is the case (see, to that effect, judgment of 11 February 2021, K. M. (Sanctions imposed on the master of a vessel), C‑77/20, EU:C:2021:112, paragraph 39).
