As regards provisional services, the proposal adopts a cautious approach to harmonisation and in particular makes no provision for maximum harmonisation: instead, it takes as a basis the principle of mutual recognition and the country of origin principle, in respect of which it in turn provides for numerous derogations.

(9a) Vzhľadom na skutočnosť, že pri zohľadnení národnej identity členských štátov vrátane ich komunálnych samospráv sa regulácia služieb všeobecného záujmu na európskej úrovni zdá byť neprimeraná, je v súvislosti so službami všeobecného záujmu nevyhnutné osobitne zdôrazniť a zohľadniť rozdielne kultúrne a historické tradície, geografické podmienky a osobitné znaky príslušných činností.
(9a) Given that the regulation of services of general interest at European level does not appear appropriate, bearing in mind the national identities of the Member States, including their communal local government, the diverse cultural and historical traditions, geographical circumstances and the special features of the activities in question should be specially emphasised and respected.
Táto výnimka sa nevzťahuje na služby všeobecného hospodárskeho záujmu.
This derogation does not cover services of general economic interest.
It would appear inappropriate to regulate services of general interest given the lack of a legal basis in Community law.

(9b) Táto smernica sa nevzťahuje na profesie a činnosť príslušníkov tých profesií, ktoré sú trvalo alebo prechodne priamo a osobitným spôsobom spojené s výkonom verejnej moci, najmä na činnosť osôb zastávajúcich verejný úrad v súvislosti s úradným overovaním a osvedčovaním dokumentov.
(9b) This Directive does not cover the professions and activities of members of those professions which are permanently or temporarily directly and specifically connected with the exercise of official authority such, in particular, as the activities of public office holders in connection with registration and certification.
The Directive should not apply to activities which are permanently or temporarily connected to the exercise of public authority.

Podľa zhodných rozhodnutí Súdneho dvora sa dočasný charakter dotknutých činností musí určiť nielen s prihliadnutím na trvanie poskytovania služby, ale aj na pravidelnosť, periodicitu a kontinuitu.
The Court of Justice has consistently held that the temporary nature of the activities in question must be determined in the light not only of the duration of the provision of the service, but also of its regularity, periodical nature or continuity.
(19) Ak prevádzkovateľ cestuje do iného členského štátu s cieľom vykonávať tam činnosť v rámci služieb, malo by sa rozlišovať medzi situáciami, na ktoré sa vzťahuje sloboda usadiť sa a takými , na ktoré sa vzťahuje v dôsledku dočasného charakteru dotknutých činností voľný pohyb služieb.
(19) Where an operator travels to another Member State to exercise a service activity there, a distinction should be made between situations covered by the freedom of establishment and those covered, due to the temporary nature of the activities concerned, by the free movement of services.
V každom prípade dočasný charakter činnosti neznamená, že si poskytovateľ služby nemôže zriadiť určitú formu infraštruktúry v hostiteľskom členskom štáte, ako napríklad kancelárske priestory, miestnosti alebo priestory pre klientov, pokiaľ je takáto infraštruktúra nevyhnutná na účely poskytovania dotknutej služby.
In any case, the fact that the activity is temporary does not mean that the service provider may not equip himself with some forms of infrastructure in the host Member State, such as an office, chambers or consulting rooms, in so far as such infrastructure is necessary for the purposes of providing the service in question.
Na druhej strane treba v súlade s judikatúrou Súdneho dvora uplatňovať ustanovenia o usadení sa, ak sa poskytovateľ služieb úplne alebo v prevažnej miere sústreďuje na poskytovanie služieb v inom členskom štáte bez toho, aby sa v ňom usadil.
However, in accordance with the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, the provisions on establishment are applicable where a service provider concentrates wholly or primarily on providing services in another Member State, without being established there.
This criterion makes it easier to distinguish between freedom of services and freedom of establishment.
