Applicant: Francesco Guarnieri & Cie

Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Rechtbank van Koophandel te Brussel — Interpretation of Articles 28 EC, 29 EC and 30 EC — Whether security for costs and damages (cautio judicatum solvi) is an infringement of Community rules in relation to the free movement of goods
Operative part of the judgment
Article 34 TFEU must be interpreted as not precluding the legislation of a Member State from requiring the provision of security pending judgment, by a claimant of Monegasque nationality which has brought proceedings before one of the civil courts of that State against a national of that State in order to obtain payment of invoices relating to the delivery of goods assimilated to Community goods, although such a requirement is not imposed on nationals of that Member State.
