Commission requests AUSTRIA to respect ski instructors' right to provide services
The European Commission has requested*Austria*to bring its regional legislation on ski instructors in line with the freedom to provide services set out in*Article 56 TFEU.
Legislation in Tyrol prevents foreign ski instructors from accepting clients already present in Austria, thus limiting their right to provide services to clients they accompany from other countries. This restriction puts them at a disadvantage compared with Tyrolean ski instructors entitled to accept clients without restrictions.
The Commission raised its concerns in a*reasoned opinion*in July 2014. Austria subsequently provided additional arguments on the necessity of this legislation to secure public security in high mountain areas. The Commission has assessed these arguments and concluded that the Tyrolean legislation is not justified since there are other possibilities under EU legislation on the recognition of professional qualifications to check specific safety related qualifications of migrant professionals without blocking access to a part of the market.
The Tyrolean requirements are neither proportional nor necessary and they restrict the free provision of services in the EU. Therefore, in an additional reasoned opinion the Commission now requests Austria to change its legislation to comply with EU rules.
