Press Release: Free movement of services: infringement proceedings against Austria

The European Commission has decided to formally request Austria to comply with the judgment of the European Court of Justice requiring it to modify its rules that place restrictive conditions on foreign boiler inspection bodies in Austria. The Court ruled that the requirement that only applicants established in Austria may be approved as boiler inspection bodies was incompatible with the principle of free movement of services (Article 49 EC Treaty).
