Added to Case Law
* C 3/00, ECJ, 20 March 2003, Denmark v Commission
The judgment backs the right of the Danish government to apply the EC treaty’s “environmental guarantee” clause of Article 95(4). It clarifies and strengthens the right of member states to maintain environmental or public health controls stricter than subsequently agreed in an EU harmonisation law.
