42With regard to the obligation to have a residence or place of business within the meaning of Article 2 of Decree No 342/95, the requirement that a patent agent, already established and qualified in another Member State and wishing to supply services, have a residence or a place of business in the host Member State constitutes a restriction of the freedom to provide services (see particularly, to that effect, Case 252/83 Commission v Denmark [1986] ECR 3713, paragraph 18).
