Article 60. Services within the meaning of this Treaty shall be deemed to be services normally supplied for remuneration, to the extent that they are not governed by the provisions relating to the free movement of goods, capital and persons. Services shall include in particular:

paragraphs i and 2 shall, as a general rule, accord priority to services which directly affect production costs or the liberalisation of which contributes to facilitating the exchange of goods. Article 64. Member States hereby declare their willingness to undertake the liberalisation of services beyond the extent required by the directives issued in application of Article 63, paragraph 2, if their general economic situation and the situation of the sector concerned so permit. The Commission shall make recommendations to this effect to the Member States concerned. Article 65. As long as the abolition of restrictions on the free supply of services has not been effected, each Member State shall apply such restrictions without distinction on grounds of nationality or residence to all persons within the meaning of Article 59, first paragraph, who supply services. Article 66. The provisions of Articles 55 to 58 inclusive shall apply to the matters governed by this Chapter. Land Commission on the inconvenience caused to some solicitors by the refusal of the Department to supply stocks of sub-division application forms for use when required. The Land Commission have now agreed that applications for forms will be met in full subject to a maximum issue of three dozen forms at any one time. The Council feel that this arrangement will be satisfactory as it will enable practitioners to lay in a sufficient stock to cover eighteen applications for sub-division keeping a copy for the file.
