Question
‘Since Dassonville, the case law on Article 34 TFEU has been driven by the desire of the Court
of Justice to ensure that all non-fiscal measures that hinder the free movement of goods are
prohibited. The court’s decision in Cassis de Dijon was a manifestation of this. However, as
subsequent case law has demonstrated, the principles established in Dassonville and Cassis
de Dijon have caused more legal problems than they have solved and the attempts by the
court to resolve these problems have not worked. The only viable solution is now to abandon
these principles entirely.’
