Whereas the General Programmes provide for the abolition, before the end of the second year of the second stage, of all discriminatory treatment based on nationality as regards establishment and provision of services in matters of real estate and in respect of business services not elsewhere classified;
Whereas it is possible to simplify the procedure for attaining freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services by combining these two fields of activity in a single Directive;
Whereas certain activities pertaining to matters of real estate or to the provision of business services not elsewhere classified are not covered by this Directive, either because they belong to branches of activity for which separate Directives are to be adopted or because, in accordance with the General Programmes, they are to be liberalised at a later date;

Whereas the provisions of this Directive concerning employment agencies do not apply to public employment offices;
