45In that regard, it is important to note that Article 56 TFEU precludes the application of any national rules which have the effect of making the provision of services between Member States more difficult than the provision of services purely within a Member State. In accordance with the Court’s case-law, Article 56 TFEU requires the abolition of any restriction on the freedom to provide services imposed on the ground that the person providing a service is established in a Member State other than that in which the service is provided (see, in particular, judgment of 18 October 2012, X, C‑498/10, EU:C:2012:635, paragraphs 20 and 21 and the case-law cited).
