37 Case Study Mr. Gebhard is a German national and authorized to practise as Rechtsanwahlt, i.e. a German lawyer. He resides in Italy, income taxed in Italy and professional activity in Italy the last 10 years. The Milan Bar Council prohibited him to use the title avvocato. He applied to be a member of the Bar based on a Directive about the recognition of higher education diplomas and 10 years practice in Italy. The Milan Bar Council imposed the sanction of suspension from pursuing his professional activity. Mr Gebhard appealed against the decision. National Courts referred preliminary questions to the ECJ. Mr Gebhard argues that he is entitled to the freedom to provide services in Italy. The Milan Bar Council argues that he has office in Milan, which is a fix establishment, but cannot enjoy the right of establishment since he is not a member of the Bar. Such a situation of a EU national who moves to pursue activity is governed by the free movement of workers, the right of establishment or the freedom to provide services? What should ECJ s ruling be? 11/12/2014 Market Freedoms, Smaragda Rigakou 37
