SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN FRANCE A DECLARATION CONTAINING CERTAIN INFORMATION MUST BE MADE TO THE AREA COUNCIL OF THE APPROPRIATE ORDRE . UNDER THE DECREE SEVERAL MEDICAL ACTIVITIES MAY BE INCLUDED IN A SINGLE DECLARATION WHEN THEY CONCERN A SINGLE PATIENT AND ARE CARRIED OUT DURING A TEMPORARY STAY IN FRANCE OF NOT MORE THAN TWO DAYS .
9 AT THE HEARING THE COMMISSION STATED THAT THE DECREE IN QUESTION SEEMED TO BE TOO RESTRICTIVE TO ALLOW OF THE FREEDOM TO PROVIDE SERVICES ENVISAGED IN THE TREATY .
10 IT MUST FIRST BE POINTED OUT THAT NATIONALS OF A MEMBER STATE WHO PURSUE THEIR OCCUPATION IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE ARE OBLIGED TO COMPLY WITH THE RULES WHICH GOVERN THE PURSUIT OF THE OCCUPATION IN QUESTION IN THAT MEMBER STATE . AS THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT RIGHTLY OBSERVES , IN THE CASE OF THE MEDICAL AND DENTAL PROFESSIONS THOSE RULES REFLECT IN PARTICULAR A CONCERN TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS ENJOY THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND COMPLETE HEALTH PROTECTION POSSIBLE .
11 HOWEVER , IN SO FAR AS THOSE RULES HAVE THE EFFECT OF RESTRICTING FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR WORKERS , THE RIGHT OF ESTABLISHMENT AND THE FREEDOM TO PROVIDE SERVICES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY , THEY ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE TREATY ONLY IF THE RESTRICTIONS WHICH THEY ENTAIL ARE ACTUALLY JUSTIFIED IN VIEW OF THE GENERAL OBLI GATIONS INHERENT IN THE PROPER PRACTICE OF THE PROFESSIONS IN QUESTION AND APPLY TO NATIONALS AND FOREIGNERS ALIKE . THAT IS NOT THE CASE WHERE THE RESTRICTIONS ARE SUCH AS TO CREATE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PRACTITIONERS ESTABLISHED IN OTHER MEMBER STATES OR RAISE OBSTACLES TO ACCESS TO THE PROFESSION WHICH GO BEYOND WHAT IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE INTENDED GOALS .
12 IN THAT CONTEXT , IT MUST BE STATED FIRST OF ALL THAT THE PRINCIPLE THAT A PRACTITIONER MAY HAVE ONLY ONE PRACTICE , PUT FORWARD BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AS INDISPENSABLE TO THE CONTINUITY OF MEDICAL CARE , IS APPLIED MORE STRICTLY WITH REGARD TO PRACTITIONERS FROM OTHER MEMBER STATES THAN PRACTITIONERS ESTABLISHED IN FRANCE . ALTHOUGH , ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS BEFORE THE COURT AND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PARTIES , THE COUNCILS OF THE ORDRE DES MEDECINS AUTHORIZE DOCTORS ESTABLISHED IN FRANCE TO OPEN A SECOND PRACTICE ONLY AT A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THEIR MAIN PRACTICE , DOCTORS ESTABLISHED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE , EVEN CLOSE TO THE FRONTIER , ARE NEVER PERMITTED TO OPEN A SECOND PRACTICE IN FRANCE . SIMILARLY , THE FRENCH LEGISLATION MAKES IT POSSIBLE IN PRINCIPLE FOR DENTAL SURGEONS ESTABLISHED IN FRANCE TO BE AUTHORIZED TO OPEN ONE OR MORE SECONDARY PRACTICES , BUT A DENTAL PRACTITIONER ESTABLISHED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE CAN NEVER BE AUTHORIZED TO OPEN A SECOND PRACTICE IN FRANCE .
13 SECONDLY , IT MUST BE OBSERVED THAT THE GENERAL RULE PROHIBITING DOCTORS AND DENTAL PRACTITIONERS ESTABLISHED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE FROM PRACTISING IN FRANCE IS UNDULY RESTRICTIVE . FIRST OF ALL , IN THE CASE OF CERTAIN MEDICAL SPECIALTIES , IT
