Abstract

Companies’ Freedom of Establishment is, without any doubt, one of the most relevant ways of exercising E.U.’s fundamental freedom on free movement of persons. This right’s crucial significance in the life of any European company it’s due to the fact that on the possibility of carrying out a correct and effective exercise of it, depends this company’s successful exercise of the rest of the Community fundamental freedoms. Nonetheless, it’s also true that Freedom of Establishment’s efficacy has been limited in several by the Member States themselves, who sometimes have enacted determined regulations in their internal legislations whose application implied a restriction of the Freedom of Establishment for companies./nGiven Freedom of Establishment fundamental right’s configuration, and lacking any kind of Community regulation on this field, the ECJ has seen itself in the obligation of carrying out an “almost regulatory” task, by determining in which cases those national restrictions can be considered valid ones as they can be justified in furtherance of public interest, being therefore compatibles with Community Law. To do so, ECJ has created a complex four-step test (consisting on the phases of non-discrimination, justification, adequacy and proportionality) whose accomplishment is by all means required in order to consider those national rules or norms according to the European Community regulations.
