48As regards the free movement of capital within the meaning of Article 56 EC et seq., it is possible that by making financial services offered by companies which are established outside the European Economic Area less accessible for clients established in Germany, the rules effectively make those clients less inclined to have recourse to those services and, therefore, reduce cross-border financial traffic relating to those services. However, that is merely an unavoidable consequence of the restriction on the freedom to provide services (see to that effect Omega, paragraph 27, and Case C-196/04 Cadbury Schweppes and Cadbury Schweppes Overseas [2006] ECR I-7995, paragraph 33, see also by analogy Case C-204/90 Bachmann [1992] ECR I-249, paragraph 34).
