Judgment_paragraph 89 · OC e.a. and Others v Banca d'Italia and Others (C-686/18)

89First, that ability does not lead to a deprivation of property and therefore does not constitute interference that undermines the very substance of the right to property. Second, even if it were concluded that that ability limited the freedom to conduct a business, it respects the essence of that freedom since it does not prevent the exercise of banking activities. In that regard, the Court has recognised that cooperative societies conform to particular operating principles, which clearly distinguish them from other economic operators (see, to that effect, judgment of 8 September 2011, Paint Graphos and Others, C‑78/08 to C‑80/08, EU:C:2011:550, paragraph 55).
