88As regards the applicability of Directive 2006/123 in general and of Article 10(6) thereof, to which the first question specifically relates, it should be noted in the first place that, as is apparent from recital 33 of that directive, the services covered by it concern, inter alia, legal advice services. Furthermore, under Article 4(1) of Directive 2006/123, ‘service’, for the purposes of that directive, means any self-employed economic activity, normally provided for remuneration, as referred to in Article 57 TFEU. It is therefore common ground that legal services provided by lawyers fall within the material scope of that directive.
