This chapter reviews the approach of the EU to the issues arising when environmental objectives need to be reconciled with trade policies. Many CJEU judgments – which are often technically complex – have supported environmental goals over and above free trade. When discussing the legal possibilities for Member States to introduce unilaterally more stringent environmental measures which have an impact on the internal market, it is important for one to be familiar with Internal Market terminology. Whether an EU measure is ‘exhaustive’, for instance, is an important issue to consider. Furthermore, specific attention is devoted in the chapter to the issue of free movement versus environmental protection in the area of renewable energy policies, in which the Court showed a lenient approach towards justifying national measures restricting trade.
