Abstract

Article 62 TFEU makes a referral to Articles 51 to 54 TFEU, located within the chapter on the right of establishment. Therefore, there are no changes with respect to ex-Article 55 TEC, or even with respect to the Treaty of Rome, which already included this provision (Article 66 TEEC). The similar structure of these two fundamental freedoms, the right of establishment and the freedom to provide services, justifies the extension to the latter of the legal regime applicable to the former as the beneficiaries and the activities carried out, from a material point of view, are the same. As indicated before (➔ Article 56 TFEU para 26), the legal regime applicable to the freedom to provide services finds two types of exceptions expressly set out in primary law, which correspond to a balance between the EU requirements for free movement and the general interests of MSs. These interests are identified in the exclusion of activities that are connected to the exercise of official authority, according to Article 51.1 TFEU (➔ para 3), and in the exceptions to the application of EU law in those cases justified for reasons of public policy, public security, or public health, according to Article 52.1 TFEU (➔ para 16), both applicable due to the referral made by Article 62 TFEU, giving rise to a regime of exclusion and exception, respectively.

    In this regard, Lenz (1989), p. 104, recognises that the welfare area, that is, the provision of public services, would be partially included in the general interest thus understood, especially in those States that are welfare States by constitutional imperative, such as Germany (Article 20 of the Basic Law). The same could apply to Spain, whose Constitution of 1978 provides in Article 1.1, “Spain is hereby established as a social and democratic State.”

    Commission Communication Freedom of movement of workers and access to employment in the public service of the Member States — Commission action in respect of the application of Article 48 (4) of the EEC Treaty, O.J. C 72/2 (1988). This Communication defined in the first place the limits to the exclusion based on the case law, adopting a functional criterion (public service posts are those carried out within the armed forces, the police, etc.). On the other hand, the Commission described those sectors in which it intended to bring about enforcement proceedings for not being covered by the exclusion (among which the management of services of a commercial nature, from public transport to telecommunications, but also the public health area, etc.). See Case C-290/94, Commission v Greece (ECJ 2 July 1996) as regards many different kind of posts; Case C-473/93, Commission v Luxembourg (ECJ 2 July 1996) para 35, as regards teachers.

    An Annex to Directive 64/221 stated the diseases that may justify its invocation (infectious or contagious diseases, according to the World Health Organisation’s corresponding Regulation). Section A.4 of the said Annex would allow States to invoke other diseases, on the basis of the non-discrimination treatment. Article 29 of Directive 2004/38 now states that diseases included are those with epidemic potential as defined by the relevant instruments of the World Health Organization, but also other diseases, on the basis of the non-discrimination treatment.

    Cf. Mancini (1993), p. 812, who considers that it is not easy to justify the danger of a behaviour in purely individual terms when, as is almost always the case, the danger for which one wants to punish lies in the ability of that behaviour to express socially disapproved collective tendencies or in the possibility for them being imitated by other individuals.

  100. 100.

    Case 36/75, Rutili (ECJ 28 October 1975) para 28. In a case where the free movement of capital was being violated, the Court, once again demonstrating its unitary approach to the exceptions to the freedoms of movement, understood that the public security ground can only be accepted if there are “real, specific and serious risks”, see Case C-423/98, Albore (ECJ 13 July 2000) para 22.

    Case C-60/00, Carpenter (ECJ 11 July 2002) para 43. In this case, in which Ms Carpenter’s expulsion order for reasons of public policy and public safety was considered, Mr Carpenter being a provider of intra-EU services from the United Kingdom, the Court held that that expulsion order amounted to interference with Mr. Carpenter’s right to respect for family life, within the meaning of Article 8 ECHR, which in turn “does not strike a fair balance between the competing interests”.

    See e.g. Case C-348/96, Calfa (ECJ 19 January 1999) para 20, where the Court states that Article 52 TFEU “permits Member States to adopt, with respect to nationals of other Member States, and in particular on the grounds of public policy, measures which they cannot apply to their own nationals, inasmuch as they have no authority to expel the latter from the territory or to deny them access thereto”.
