Criminal proceedings against Aubertin and others: ECJ 16 Feb 1995

ECJ Since the Treaty provisions on the freedom of movement for persons cannot be applied to activities which are confined in all respects within a single Member State, and Directive 82/489 laying down measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services in hairdressing does not aim to harmonize the conditions laid down by national rules for access to the occupation of hairdresser and the pursuit of that occupation, Community law does not preclude national rules whereby a Member State requires its own nationals who have received their training in that State to hold a diploma in order to operate a hairdressing salon, while permitting hairdressers who are nationals of other Member States to operate a hairdressing salon without holding such a diploma and without being obliged to entrust its operation to a manager holding that diploma providing they satisfy certain conditions as to the prior pursuit of that occupation.
