84Accordingly, in order to ascertain whether, in the present case, the interference with the rights guaranteed in Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter resulting from the obligation to include two fingerprints in the storage medium of identity cards, provided for in Article 3(5) of Regulation 2019/1157, comply with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary to examine, first, whether that measure pursues one or more objectives of general interest recognised by the European Union and is actually appropriate for attaining those objectives, second, whether the resulting interferences are limited to what is strictly necessary, in the sense that those objectives could not reasonably be achieved in an equally effective manner by other means less prejudicial to those fundamental rights of the data subjects, and, third, whether those interferences are not disproportionate to the objectives, which implies, in particular, a balancing of those objectives and the seriousness of those interferences (see, to that effect, judgments of 22 November 2022, Luxembourg Business Registers, C‑37/20 and C‑601/20, EU:C:2022:912, paragraph 66, and of 8 December 2022, Orde van Vlaamse Balies and Others, C‑694/20, EU:C:2022:963, paragraph 42).
