    (Case C-268/15) (1)

    ((Reference for a preliminary ruling - Fundamental freedoms - Articles 49, 56 and 63 TFEU - Situation confined in all respects within a single Member State - Non-contractual liability of a Member State for damage caused to individuals by breaches of EU law for which the national legislature and courts are to be held responsible))

    (2017/C 014/11)

    Language of the case: French

    Referring court

    Cour d’appel de Bruxelles

    Parties to the main proceedings

    Applicant: Fernand Ullens de Schooten

    Defendant: État belge

    Operative part of the judgment

    European Union law must be interpreted as meaning that the system of non-contractual liability of a Member State for damage caused by a breach of that law does not apply in the case of damage allegedly caused to an individual as a result of an alleged breach of a fundamental freedom laid down in Article 49, 56 or 63 TFEU by national legislation that is applicable without distinction to the State’s own nationals and those of other Member States, where, in a situation which is confined in all respects within a single Member State, there is no link between the subject or circumstances of the dispute in the main proceedings and those articles.
