THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (3);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4);
Whereas this Directive covers activities of self-employed persons in film production, as listed under ISIC Group 841 ; whereas the activities of film studios or undertakings whose services are available to a producer and the activities of the persons directly involved with the producer in the making of a film are governed by special laws ; such activities are therefore dealt with in separate Directives;

Whereas the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment provides that restrictions on the right to join professional or trade organisations must be abolished where the professional activities of the person concerned necessarily involve the exercise of this right;
