Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the possible effects of the Services Directive on the interpretation of Article 56 TFEU. The chapter first examines the Services Directive and its drafting history. It then considers the impact of the Directive on the Court’s case law, arguing that while there is no direct legal challenge to the jurisprudence, a political challenge has nevertheless emerged. Finally, the chapter argues that the case law can withstand the effects of the Directive, in particular as the theory based on combating intentional protectionism can legitimize the principle of mutual recognition, but the Court needs to articulate the basis of its decisions more carefully.
