Abstract
This article analyses the recent jurisprudence on environmental protection measures and the EU rules on the free movement of goods. It argues that the Court is at times integrating these considerations insufficiently. A better integration, rather than the classic juxtaposition i.e. the environment vs. free movement presentation, will offer better insights into the Court's case law and thus offer more legal certainty.
Keywords: Environmental protection, free movement of goods, EU law
