26National measures which prohibit, impede or render less attractive the exercise of the freedom to provide services are restrictions on that freedom. On the other hand, measures the only effect of which is to create additional costs in respect of the service in question and which affect in the same way the provision of services between Member States and such provision within one Member State do not fall within the scope of the prohibition laid down in Article 56 TFEU (see, inter alia, judgment of 18 June 2019, Austria v Germany, C‑591/17, EU:C:2019:504, paragraphs 136 and 137 and the case-law cited).
