European Court of Justice (ECJ), April 2, 2020
ECJ 2 April 2020, Case C-830/18 (Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße), Free Movement
Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße - v - PF and others, German case

Within the context of Article 7(2) of Regulation 492/2011/EU, legislation which provides for reimbursement of costs of school transport on the condition that the recipient lives in a federal state constitutes indirect discrimination, as it puts frontier workers on a disadvantage compared to workers living in that member state. Practical difficulties connected to an efficient organisation of this school transport are not imperative reasons of public interest which justify such indirect discrimination.
