The Commission claims that, as regards the distribution service, and stating that its objection does not concern the obligation to store frozen semen before its dispatch in accordance with paragraph 3(a) of Annex C to Directive 88/407, the freedom to provide that service is affected, first, by the obligation to store semen in authorised artificial insemination centres which alone are authorised to deliver it to breeders and, secondly, by the prohibition of any intervention not authorised by the insemination centre enjoying an exclusive right of action.
