The Free Movement of Goods Principle Facing the Protection of National Public Health in the Absence of Harmonised Legislation: The Case of Processing Aids Used in the Manufacture of Foodstuffs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Extract
The free movement of goods is a fundamental principle under EU law: a product lawfully manufactured and/or marketed in one Member State is, in principle, entitled to be marketed in another EU Member State. Indeed, Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) prohibits any quantitative restrictions on imports between Member States and all measures having equivalent effect.
