France, which confirmed that the French authorities had not overstepped their discretion ("margin of appreciation") in enacting the contested prohibition of the purchase of sexual, in so far as it resulted from a balance struck by means of a democratic process within the society in question and formed part of a comprehensive approach – provided for by Law no. 2016-444 of 13 April 2016 – in which account had been taken of the various concerns raised by the applicants in the case."
