49As is apparent from the order for reference, those circumstances are characterised by a situation linked to trade between Member States, since VIPA was penalised by the competent authority of the Member State on whose territory it is established for having dispensed medicinal products on the basis of order forms issued by health professionals authorised to prescribe medicinal products and to exercise their activity in Member States other than that in which that pharmacy is established. Where the national legislation at issue in a dispute applies to situations that are linked to trade, the issue raised by that dispute may fall within the scope of the provisions of the FEU Treaty relating to the fundamental freedoms (see, to that effect, judgments of 15 December 1982, Oosthoek’s Uitgeversmaatschappij, 286/81, EU:C:1982:438, paragraph 9, and of 23 February 2006, Keller Holding, C‑471/04, EU:C:2006:143, paragraph 24).
