40In that regard, it must be borne in mind that the Court’s interpretation of Article 4(1) of the Framework Directive which, as recalled in paragraph 33 above, is an expression of the principle of effective judicial protection, safeguarded by Article 47 of the Charter, must take account of the significance, as resulting from the system applied by the Charter as a whole, of that fundamental right. In particular, it should be taken into account that, whilst Article 52(1) of the Charter allows limitations on the exercise of the rights enshrined by the Charter, it nevertheless lays down that any limitation must respect the essence of the fundamental right in question and requires, in addition, that, subject to the principle of proportionality, the limitation must be necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest recognised by the European Union (see, to that effect, judgment of 4 June 2013, ZZ, C‑300/11, EU:C:2013:363, paragraph 51).
