40That case-law relating to the principle that trade mark rights may be exhausted, based on Article 36 TFEU, is intended, like Article 15 of Directive 2017/1001, to reconcile the fundamental interest in protecting trade mark rights, on the one hand, with the fundamental interest in the free movement of goods within the internal market, on the other, with the result that those two provisions, which have the objective of achieving the same result, must be interpreted in the same way (see, by analogy, judgment of 20 December 2017, Schweppes, C‑291/16, EU:C:2017:990, paragraph 35 and the case-law cited).
