JUDGMENT OF THE COURT (Fifth Chamber)
11 December 2003 (1)
((Freedom to provide services – Directive 64/427/EEC – Skilled services in the plastering trade – National rules requiring foreign skilled-trade undertakings to be entered on the trades register – Proportionality))
In Case C-215/01, REFERENCE to the Court under Article 234 EC by the Amtsgericht Augsburg (Germany) for a preliminary ruling in the proceedings before that court against Bruno Schnitzer, on the interpretation of Articles 49 EC, 50 EC, 54 EC and 55 EC and Council Directive 64/427/EEC of 7 July 1964 laying down detailed provisions concerning transitional measures in respect of activities of self-employed persons in manufacturing and processing industries falling within ISIC Major Groups 23-40 (Industry and small craft industries) (OJ, English Special Edition 1963-1964, p. 148),THE COURT (Fifth Chamber),,
after considering the written observations submitted on behalf of:
having regard to the Report for the Hearing,
after hearing the oral observations of Mr Schnitzer, represented by H. Böttcher, Rechtsanwältin, and the Commission, represented by M. Patakia and P.F. Nemitz, at the hearing on 27 February 2003,
after hearing the Opinion of the Advocate General at the sitting on 3 April 2003,
gives the following
On those grounds,
THE COURT (Fifth Chamber),
in answer to the question referred to it by the Amtsgericht Augsburg by order of 26 February 2001, hereby rules: Community law on freedom to provide services precludes a business from being subject to an obligation to be entered on the trades register which delays, complicates or renders more onerous the provision of its services in the host Member State if the conditions prescribed by the directive governing recognition of professional qualifications which is applicable to pursuit of that activity in the host Member State are satisfied. The mere fact that a business established in one Member State supplies identical or similar services in a repeated or more or less regular manner in a second Member State, without having an infrastructure there enabling it to pursue a professional activity there on a stable and continuous basis and, from the infrastructure, to hold itself out to, amongst others, nationals of the second Member State, cannot be sufficient for it to be regarded as established in the second Member State.
