Fundamento destacado: 35. Una injerencia en el derecho de propiedad no solo debe perseguir, tanto en los hechos como en principio, un fin legítimo de interés general, sino que también debe existir una relación razonable de proporcionalidad entre los medios empleados y el fin que se pretende alcanzar con cualquier medida aplicada por el Estado, incluidas las medidas diseñadas para controlar el uso de la propiedad individual. Este requisito se expresa en la noción de un equilibrio justo entre las exigencias del interés general de la comunidad y las exigencias de la protección de los derechos fundamentales de la persona (Hutten-Czapska c. Polonia [GC], n.º 35014/97, § 167, CEDH 2006 – VIII).
[Traducción de LP]
35. Not only must an interference with the right of property pursue, on the facts as well as in principle, a “legitimate aim” in the “general interest”, but there must also be a reasonable relation of proportionality between the means employed and the aim sought to be realised by any measures applied by the State, including measures designed to control the use of the individual’s property. That requirement is expressed by the notion of a “fair balance” that must be struck between the demands of the general interest of the community and the requirements of the protection of the individual’s fundamental rights (Hutten-Czapska v. Poland [GC], no. 35014/97, § 167, ECHR 2006-VIII).
