75Fourth, the preservation of judicial independence requires that, notwithstanding the application to the judiciary of a budgetary restriction measure, and even if such a measure were linked to the existence of a serious economic, social and financial crisis, the level of remuneration of judges is always commensurate with the importance of the functions they carry out, so that they remain shielded from external interventions or pressure liable to jeopardise their independent judgment and to influence their decisions, in accordance with the case-law referred to in paragraph 49 above.
