| Definition |
Court of Justice’s judgment (1979), which led to the possibility for European consumers to buy in their own country any food product from a country in the Community provided that it is lawfully produced and marketed in that country and that there are no serious grounds related, for example, to the protection of health or the environment for preventing its importation into the country of consumption.

| Context |
These proposals will also provide the general frame for those areas not covered by specific harmonised rules but where the functioning of the Internal Market is ensured by mutual recognition, as developed by the European Court of Justice in its “Cassis de Dijon” jurisprudence. Under this principle, in the absence of Community harmonisation, Member States may only restrict the placing on the market of products lawfully marketed in another Member State when and to the extent that this can be justified by a legitimate interest such as the protection of public health and that the measures taken are proportionate.
