Freedom of establishment & freedom to provide services

Question 1

Jay Booth is a famous doctor who holds a medical biology PhD from Trinity College Dublin. Although he has several years of experience and has extensively published in the area of postmenopausal birth, he cannot find a job in the currently declining Irish job-market. Therefore, he starts to provide technical and medical advice to a Bosnian private clinic where it is possible for postmenopausal women to give birth. Jay goes to Bosnia quite often. There, he analyses specific cases and organises meetings with the staff on these cases. The clinic pays him a small fortune for every case he works on. The clinic also provides him with the necessary facilities and equipment. Jay is further completely independent to organise his activities.
