C-293/83. Mlle. Gravier, a French national, was charged a fee to enroll on an arts course in Belgium. This fee would not have been charged to a Belgian national. She argued that the imposition of a fee was contrary to the principle of non-discrimination expressed in (what is now) Art. 12 of the ECTreaty.
The ECJ conceded that Art. 12 applied only to areas of policy that were within the scope of the Treaty, and educational policy in general was not one of these areas. However, it went on to say that education, in general, was ``not unconnected with'' Community law, and access to eduction was of particular relevance. Therefore, any restriction on `access to training', and that would include the imposition of fees, would have to satisfy the principle of non-discrimination. Consequently, and educational establishment could not impose fees on non-nationals that it did not impose on nationals.
