22/05/2017 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 19 May, EuroCommerce welcomed the opinion delivered the previous day by Court of Justice of the EU Advocate General Maciej Szpunar on a request for a preliminary ruling in the Visser case (C-31/16), taking the view that retail should be considered a service within the meaning of the services directive. This opinion increases the legal certainty for retail businesses in Europe, EuroCommerce says. However, will the Court agree with the advocate general’s opinion when it comes to render its judgement?
