47In that regard, it follows from the case-law of the Court that national legislation under which exclusive rights to carry on an economic activity are conferred on a single private or public operator is capable, inter alia, of constituting a restriction both of the freedom of establishment and of the freedom to provide services (judgment of 23 February 2016, Commission v Hungary, C‑179/14, EU:C:2016:108, paragraph 164 and the case-law cited), in respect of which it would then be necessary to determine whether the restriction may be justified by an overriding reason relating to the public interest and, where appropriate, whether it is suitable for securing the attainment of the objective pursued and does not go beyond what is necessary to attain that objective (see, to that effect, judgment of 23 February 2016, Commission v Hungary, C‑179/14, EU:C:2016:108, paragraphs 165 and 166 and the case-law cited).
