Try a bit of reverse logic on this.
Austrian Ban
Austria was the first European Union country to ban wild animals in circuses. Now Charlie McCreevy, EU Commissioner, is trying to overturn it by arguing that a circus provides a service, and if someone provides a service legally in their home country they are allowed to do so throughout the EU. This is according to article 49 of the EU treaty. Article 49 is contravened because circuses from other states cannot bring wild animals into Austria.

If they win, how about inviting the French hunts over here to control our pests? If they are providing a service in their home country
