France in breach of EU law

In May 2005 the European Court of Justice ruled that France’s requirement that its citizens have prior authorisation to import homoeopathic medicines contravened EU law. The Official Journal of the EU records the case brought against the French government for its breach of the free movement of goods treaty. French citizens are now free to import medicines for their own personal use without need of prior authorisation.
