Eleftherios-Themistoklis Nasiopoulos v Ipourgos Igias kai Pronoias C-575/11 [2013] All ER (D) 252 (Jul)

Article 49 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union had to be interpreted as precluding national legislation which excluded partial access to the profession of physiotherapist, regulated in the host member state, by a national of that state who obtained, in another member state, a qualification such as that of medical masseur-hydrotherapist, authorising him to carry out, in that second member state, part of the activities that came under the profession of physiotherapist, when the differences between the field of activity were so great that in reality the applicant should follow a full programme of education and training in order to pursue the profession of physiotherapist. It was for the national court to determine whether that was the case.
