Germany has had laws regulating beer since 1516. For example, Germany had a law that prohibited additives in beer. The Community tried to harmonize its laws on additives and passed several directives on additives. The Commission notified Germany in 1982 that its beer law created barriers to member states that wanted to import beer into Germany: thus Germany’s law violated Article 30 and 36 of the Treaty of Rome. Germany argued that to sell a beer with additives would mislead consumers and there were resultant public health concerns. How did the Court of Justice rule? Why didn’t the Cassis de Dijon case (see Rewe– Zentral [Cassis de Dijon], C-120/78, February 20, 1979) preclude the necessity of this case? Why did the community need to address such a similar issue nine years after Rewe? Does the court still have to address similar issues today? Give an example from your reading. Find a case on the Internet.
