but in France no certificate was needed
CoJ: the obtaining of a certificate is more difficult for
importers who bought the Whiskey in another country
where the goods are admitted to free circulation than for
importers who buy the Whiskey directly from the
originating country => measure having equivalent effect
to a quantitative restriction
Court gave a very broad definition of MEE: all trading rules
are capable of hindering the free movements of goods =>
risk that all domestic legislation can be put under this
definition => court tried to kick back the definition in Keck

the free movements of goods

requirement) and register a branch of that company in
Denmark (to avoid that minimum capital requirement) =>

with the law of another MS, even when it is intended to
have no activity in the registered office, and to carry on its
entire business in that branch

thousand German marks without declaring the money =>
Italian law: taking foreign currency abroad was only

Italian currency in the amount exceeding 500 thousand
lira out of Italy required special permit => Casati argued
that he took this money to Italy in order to purchase some
machines for his business; but he didn’t buy them because
factory was closed => severe penal sanctions
CoJ: full freedom of capital movement may threaten
economic policy of a country or disturb its balance of
payments, which may lead to violation of proper
functioning of the Common Market => those rules do not
restrict the MS to adopt control measures and to enfore
compliance with them by means of criminal penalties
