18As a preliminary point, it must be noted that, in accordance with Article 168(7) TFEU, EU law does not detract from the power of the Member States to adopt provisions aimed at organising their health services. In exercising that power, however, the Member States must comply with EU law, in particular the provisions of the FEU Treaty on the freedom of establishment, which prohibit the Member States from introducing or maintaining unjustified restrictions on the exercise of that freedom in the healthcare sector (judgment of 20 December 2017, Simma Federspiel, C‑419/16, EU:C:2017:997, paragraph 33 and the case-law cited).
