Re:
Requests for a preliminary ruling — Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale per la Lombardia — Interpretation of Articles 18 and 56 TFEU and of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU — National legislation prohibiting para-pharmacies from selling prescription-only medicinal products the cost of which is borne by the patient.
Operative part of the judgment
Article 49 TFEU must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which does not allow a pharmacist, who is qualified and registered with the professional body but does not own a pharmacy in the grid, also to offer for retail sale, in the para-pharmacy owned by that pharmacist, prescription-only medicinal products the cost of which is borne not by the national health service but wholly by the purchaser.
