Judgment_paragraph 89 · Minister Sprawiedliwości v Prokurator Krajowy – Pierwszy Zastępca Prokuratora Generalnego and Rzecznik Dyscyplinarny Izby Adwokackiej w Warszawie (C-55/20)

89In the second place, as regards the fact, highlighted by the referring court in its first question, that the case in the main proceedings seems prima facie to concern a purely internal situation, inasmuch as that case seems not to concern a situation falling within the scope of the freedom of establishment or the freedom of lawyers to provide services, within the meaning of Articles 49 to 55 and 56 to 62 TFEU, it is sufficient to recall that such a fact is not such as to exclude the applicability of the provisions of Chapter III of Directive 2006/123 and therefore, Article 10 thereof. As is apparent from the Court’s case-law, the provisions of Chapter III must be interpreted as also applying to a situation where all the relevant elements are confined to a single Member State (judgment of 30 January 2018, X and Visser, C‑360/15 and C‑31/16, EU:C:2018:44, paragraph 110).
