Marketing of Imported Food Products in Germany: : The New Paragraph 47(a) in German Food Law

This principle was developed by the European Court in the Cassis jurisdiction. The German legislature has taken this principle into account in implementation of the new paragraph 47(a) in the Lebensmittel – und Bedarfsegenstandegesetz (German Food Law). Gives an overview of the judicial developments which preceded the passing of this new section.
