57Article 49 TFEU requires the abolition of restrictions on the freedom of establishment. Therefore, even though, according to their wording, the Treaty provisions on freedom of establishment are aimed at ensuring that foreign nationals are treated in the host Member State in the same way as nationals of that State, they also prohibit the Member State of origin from hindering the establishment in another Member State of one of its nationals or of a company incorporated under its legislation (see Case C-446/03 Marks & Spencer [2005] ECR I-10837, paragraph 31, and Case C-371/10 National Grid Indus [2011] ECR I-12273, paragraph 35).
