Abstract

This chapter examines the Treaty provisions designed to ensure free movement of goods within the European Union. It discusses prohibitions on quantitative restrictions, and on measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions (MEQR) in Article 34 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), in particular considering the key cases of Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. It also outlines the prohibition on quantitative restrictions on exports and all measures having equivalent effect. It analyses the development of the jurisprudence relating to MEQR, and explains the provisions of Articles 35 (exports) and 37 TFEU (state monopolies). The chapter also addresses the underlying questions concerning the relationship between free movement and national regulatory competence.
