In relation to the collective action seeking to ensure the implementation of the policy in question pursued by ITF, the Court notes that, to the extent that that policy results in ship owners being prevented from registering their vessels in a State other than that of which the beneficial owners of those of vessels are nationals, the restrictions on freedom of establishment resulting from such action cannot be objectively justified.
ITF-i poliitika elluviimise tagamisele suunatud kollektiivse tegevuse osas rõhutab Euroopa Kohus, et kuivõrd niisuguse poliitika tulemusel takistatakse reederitel registreerida laevu muus riigis kui see, mille kodanikud on laevade kasusaavad omanikud, ei saa sellisest tegevusest tulenevad asutamisvabaduse piirangud olla objektiivselt õigustatud.
