         JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
   of 10 November 2014
   in Case E-9/14
   Otto Kaufmann AG
   (Admissibility — Exchange of information on convictions of legal persons — Freedom to provide services — Freedom of establishment — Directive 2004/18/EC — Directive 2006/123/EC)
   (2015/C 183/07)
   In Case E-9/14, Otto Kaufmann AG – REQUEST to the Court under Article 34 of the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice by the Princely Court of Liechtenstein (Fürstliches Landgericht des Fürstentums Liechtenstein) on the interpretation of EEA law with regard to the recording of criminal convictions of legal persons, the Court, composed of Carl Baudenbacher, President, Per Christiansen (Judge-Rapporteur) and Páll Hreinsson, Judges, gave judgment on 10 November 2014, the operative part of which is as follows:
   Articles 31 and 36 of the EEA Agreement do not require that a criminal conviction of a legal person be clearly recorded. Provisions such as Article 45 of Directive 2004/18/EC and Article 33 of Directive 2006/123/EC may require an EEA State to provide information, upon request from another EEA State, on convictions relevant to the competence and professional reliability of legal persons. However, these Directives leave the maintenance and handling of relevant information to national law.
