Shrnutí (Summary of the Judgment):
1. A NATIONAL COURT OR TRIBUNAL IS NOT EMPOWERED TO BRING A MATTER BEFORE THE COURT BY WAY OF A REFERENCE FOR A PRELIMINARY RULING UNDER ARTICLE 177 OF THE TREATY UNLESS A DISPUTE IS PENDING BEFORE IT IN THE CONTEXT OF WHICH IT IS CALLED UPON TO GIVE A DECISION WHICH COULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PRELIMINARY RULING. CONVERSELY, THE COURT OF JUSTICE HAS NO JURISDICTION TO HEAR A REFERENCE FOR A PRELIMINARY RULING WHEN AT THE TIME IT IS MADE THE PROCEDURE BEFORE THE COURT MAKING IT HAS ALREADY BEEN TERMINATED.

2. MEDICAL TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY, PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE IN WHICH IT IS CARRIED OUT, CONSTITUTES A SERVICE WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 60 OF THE TREATY.

3. THE PROVISION OF INFORMATION ON AN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS NOT TO BE REGARDED AS A PROVISION OF SERVICES WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 60 OF THE TREATY WHERE THE INFORMATION IS NOT DISTRIBUTED ON BEHALF OF AN ECONOMIC OPERATOR BUT CONSTITUTES MERELY A MANIFESTATION OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. AS A RESULT, IT IS NOT CONTRARY TO COMMUNITY LAW FOR A MEMBER STATE IN WHICH MEDICAL TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY IS FORBIDDEN TO PROHIBIT STUDENTS ASSOCIATIONS FROM DISTRIBUTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE IDENTITY AND LOCATION OF CLINICS IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE WHERE VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY IS LAWFULLY CARRIED OUT AND THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATING WITH THOSE CLINICS, WHERE THE CLINICS IN QUESTION HAVE NO INVOLVEMENT IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAID INFORMATION.
