(Freedom of establishment - Article 43 EC - Public health - Pharmacies - Provisions restricting the right to operate a pharmacy to pharmacists alone - Justification - Reliability and quality of the provision of medicinal products to the public - Professional independence of pharmacists)
2009/C 153/10
Language of the case: German
Claimants: Apothekerkammer des Saarlandes, Marion Schneider, Michael Holzapfel, Fritz Trennheuser, Deutscher Apothekerverband eV (C-171/07) and Helga Neumann-Seiwert (C-172/07)
Defendants: Saarland and Ministerium für Justiz, Gesundheit und Soziales
Joined party: DocMorris NV
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Verwaltungsgericht des Saarlandes — Interpretation of Articles 10 EC, 43 EC and 48 EC — Authorisation to operate pharmacies restricted, under national legislation, to pharmacists who personally manage the pharmacy — Authorisation given by the national authorities to a legal person in view of the direct effect of Community law — Conditions under which national law should be disapplied
Articles 43 EC and 48 EC do not preclude national legislation, such as that at issue in the main actions, which prevents persons not having the status of pharmacist from owning and operating pharmacies.
