Rewe v Hauptzollamt Emmerich (Judgment): ECJ 11 Feb 1971

Europa The provisions of article 226 are applicable to agricultural products. The insertion of special safeguarding clauses in agricultural regulations does not affect the scope of that article. The commission retains the power to authorize on the basis of article 226 the protective measures necessary to remedy economic difficulties in the agricultural sector of a member state, even if an agricultural regulation prescribes specific measures applicable to cases of the same nature.
