The Free Movement of Goods

INTRODUCTION This is one of the fundamental freedoms of the European Community and is perhaps the most important one as far as examination questions are concerned.

Examiners set both problem and essay questions on this area of Community law and it is one which you are strongly advised to revise thoroughly. The benefit of this hard work is that many important principles have been developed through cases associated with the free movement of goods, so that you can use them as examples in answering questions on other topics, such as preliminary references or general principles of Community law.
