Resumo

The principle of mutual recognition concerning the free movement of goods has played a key role for the development of doctrine in European Union Law. With the cases Dassonville, Keck and Cassis de Dijon the European Court of Justice has founded this principle of mutual recognition which has been more and more in competition with direct regulations of European bodies. The principle has often been questioned due to a large amount of problems resulting from this non-regulative principle whose legal bases are not even clearly defined and require a judicial interpretation.
