Judgment_paragraph 33 · Olympique Lyonnais SASP v Olivier Bernard and Newcastle UFC (C-325/08)

33Finally, as regards the question whether national legislation such as the legislation at issue in the main proceedings constitutes a restriction within the meaning of Article 45 TFEU, it must be pointed out that all of the provisions of the FEU Treaty relating to the freedom of movement for persons are intended to facilitate the pursuit by nationals of the Member States of occupational activities of all kinds throughout the European Union, and preclude measures which might place nationals of the Member States at a disadvantage when they wish to pursue an economic activity in the territory of another Member State (see, in particular, Bosman, cited above, paragraph 94; Case C-109/04 Kranemann [2005] ECR I-2421, paragraph 25; and Case C-208/05 ITC [2007] ECR I-181, paragraph 31).
