41In this respect it should be noted that the condition requiring private security operators to be constituted as a legal person could hamper the activities of transfrontier service providers established in Member States other than the Portuguese Republic, where they lawfully provide similar services, and therefore constitutes a restriction within the meaning of Article 49 EC. Such a condition rules out any possibility for a transfrontier service provider that is a natural person to provide services in Portugal.
