Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Tribunal de Première Instance de Bruxelles — Interpretation of Article 81 EC, the second paragraph of Article 10 EC and Article 3(1)(g) EC — National legislation prohibiting all advertising in the dental care sector
Operative part of the judgment
Article 81 EC, read in conjunction with Article 3(1)(g) EC and the second paragraph of Article 10 EC, does not preclude a national law, such as the Law of 15 April 1958, which prohibits any person or dental care providers, in the context of professional services or a dental surgery, from engaging in advertising of any kind in the dental care sector.
