39As for the second objection, it must be acknowledged that all the facts in the main proceedings are confined to a single Member State. However, national legislation such as Decree-Law No 422/89, which applies without distinction to Portuguese nationals and to nationals of other Member States, may generally fall within the scope of the provisions on the fundamental freedoms established by the Treaty only to the extent that it applies to situations related to intra-Community trade (see, to that effect, Case 286/81 Oosthoek's Uitgeversmaatschappij [1982] ECR 4575, paragraph 9, and Case 98/86 Mathot [1987] ECR 809, paragraphs 8 and 9, and Reisch and Others, cited above, paragraph 24).
