45First, the Court has held that the activities covered by the concept of ‘legal advisory services’, within the meaning of Article 5n(2) of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 of 31 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine (OJ 2014 L 229, p. 1), as amended by Council Regulation (EU) 2022/1904 of 6 October 2022 (OJ 2022 L 259 I, p. 3), are clearly different from those which the public authorities or any other entity entrusted by the State with the exercise, under the supervision of those authorities, of a task in the public interest and which has, for that purpose, been given certain powers which are binding on citizens, may be required to perform. Those authorities do not have the task of providing services consisting in giving opinions on questions of law to persons in order to promote or defend the individual interests of those persons (judgment of 5 September 2024, Jemerak, C‑109/23, EU:C:2024:681, paragraph 41).
