To be precise, it is what we now know as the British flag but from 1867-1922, as we were under British ownership, this was our flag. We also see the British flag to represent land won.

Art 49 is the base. In the handout. It talks about nationals of a MS, if you are a national of a non MS, you can’t rely on this provision. This applies to nationals of a MS or companies that are established in MS. We can’t deal with freedom of movement of companies, as that’s a highly complicated area and beyond our scope. There are a couple of logical steps in order to deduce whether there is a breach by a member state in your particular case. 1. Is the situation really one where establishment
