62As regards Article 52 of the Treaty, it is clear from the case-law of the Court that freedom of establishment, which is conferred by that article on Community nationals and which entails for them access to, and pursuit of, activities as self-employed persons as well as the establishment and management of undertakings on the same conditions as those laid down for its own nationals by the laws of the Member State of establishment, includes the right of companies formed in accordance with the laws of a Member State and having their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the Community to pursue their activities in the Member State concerned through a subsidiary, a branch or an agency (Case C-471/04 Keller Holding [2006] ECR I-2107, paragraph 29, and Case C-386/04 Centro di Musicologia Walter Staujfer [2006] ECR I-8203, paragraph 17 and case-law there cited).
