247Article 56 TFEU, which enshrines the freedom to provide services for the benefit of both providers and recipients of such services, precludes any measures, even those which are applicable without distinction, which restrict the exercise of that freedom by prohibiting, impeding or rendering less attractive the activity of those providers in those Member States other than the one where they are established (see, to that effect, judgments of 8 September 2009, Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional and Bwin International, C‑42/07, EU:C:2009:519, paragraph 51, and of 3 March 2020, Google Ireland, C‑482/18, EU:C:2020:141, paragraphs 25 and 26).
