The notes identify distinctly applicable measures having equivalent effect and be able distinguish these from indistinctly applicable measures having equivalent effect. The notes describe the two fundamental principles set out in the CJ’s decision in Cassis. Further the notes describe the circumstances in which selling arrangements for products will escape the prohibition in Article 34 TFEU and lastly the derogations set out in Article 36 TFEU.
