33Therefore, suspension measures such as those at issue in the main proceedings are aimed not at the general public, but at a particular category of addressees who, because they pursue an activity specifically regulated by EU law, must satisfy the conditions required in order to obtain an authorisation, issued by the Member States and conferring specific powers on them. It is therefore for the referring court to assess whether the measures at issue in the main proceedings consist in suspending the exercise of those prerogatives on the ground that the competent administrative authority held that the conditions for granting the authorisation were no longer or might no longer be satisfied, which would support the finding that such measures do not have a punitive purpose.
