ABSTRACT
Neither foreign exporters nor other foreigners have a claim on free access to domestic markets in reliance on the right to freedom, for they are not members of the domestic society. The right to freedom of the national citizens, by contrast, extends in principle to the right to buy goods from abroad and sell goods abroad without being obstructed by the home state. The state may curtail this right only if its use interferes with another expression of the right to freedom of national individuals. As to exports, no such violation of any spheres of freedom of national individuals is conceivable. With regard to imports, however, their possible impact on competitors and other third parties needs to be considered.
