26 First, as regards Article 45 TFEU, it is time that the Court has consistently held that the provisions of the FEU Treaty on the freedom of movement of persons cannot be applied to cases which have no factor linking them with any of the situations governed by E|U law and where all elements of which are purely internal to a single Member State (see judgments in López Brea and Hidalgo Palacios, C‑330/90 and C‑331/90, EU:C:1992:39, paragraph 7, and Uecker and Jacquet, C‑64/96 and C‑65/96, EU:C:1997:285, paragraph 16).

7 In this connection, the Court has consistently held that the Treaty provisions on the freedom of movement for persons cannot be applied to activities which are confined in all respects within a single Member State (see, for example, the judgment in Case C-41/90 Hoefner and Elser v Macrotron [1991] ECR I-1979).
