23UPBMO submits that, in those circumstances, Member States are entitled to reserve certain eyesight examinations to those persons who are best qualified, that is to say, ophthalmologists. In paragraph 12 of its judgment in Case C-61/89 Boucboucha [1990] ECR I-3551, the Court recognised that, in the absence of Community legislation governing the paramedical activity at issue in that case, each Member State is free to regulate the exercise of that activity within its territory, on condition only that it does not discriminate between its own nationals and those of the other Member States. The same considerations must, UPBMO submits, obtain in the main proceedings here.
