42Even if, like the other provisions concerning freedom of establishment, Article 52 of the Treaty is, according to its terms, aimed particularly at ensuring that foreign nationals are treated in the host Member State in the same way as nationals of that State, it also prohibits the Member State of origin from hindering the establishment in another Member State of one of its own nationals (see Baars, paragraph 28, and case-law cited therein).
