Therefore, even though, according to their wording, the provisions of TFEU on freedom of establishment are directed to ensuring that foreign nationals and companies 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 (judgments in Marks & Spencer, C‑446/03, EU:C:2005:763, paragraph 31; National Grid Indus, C‑371/10, EU:C:2011:785, paragraph 35; and Bouanich, C‑375/12, EU:C:2014:138, paragraph 57).
