On the left side, the figure ranks sectors as to the number of restrictions prior to the directive; on the right hand side, the sector ranking is driven by the number of restrictions removed because of the directive. The figure provides the number of restrictions removed, partly or wholly, in all sectors. It is clear from the picture that the majority of sectors used to have between 50 and 100 restrictions: few sectors abolished a significant percentage of barriers, notably travel agencies, building companies, real estate agents and tourist guides, while other sectors merely partially reduced or left unchanged the number of existing barriers before the entry into force.
