Case summary last updated at 05/02/2020 12:32 by the Oxbridge Notes in-house law team.

Judgement for the case Federal Republic of Germany v Commission

The ECJ said that a GATT provision could be used to show that an EC measure was incompatible with the agreement (but NB only where the EC intended to impose the relevant GATT obligation OR where it referred to the GATT obligation) even if no rights cold be derived from it (broader concept of direct effect).
