What to watch

• Whether the ruling changes how EU institutions, regulators or companies can act immediately.
• Implications for competition, state aid and market structure.
• Follow-up from the Commission, Council, national governments, regulators or affected companies after the court step.
• Whether the case creates a precedent that should be pinned as a durable legal or policy milestone.
• Case context: Freedom to provide services; Court of Justice - Third Chamber; Advocate General - Szpunar.
