classes next week
Next week we will consider the food supplements case. You will want to compare the approaches of the Advocate General’s opinion and of the ECJ’s judgment in the case. Which approach do you find more persuasive? Why did the ECJ not follow the same approach as the Advocate General in the case?
I know I said we would think about the food supplements directive and the doctrine of indirect effects next week. We will think about that issue, but later. I’m sending the next packet of materials to the Distribution Center today (these materials address the standing issue we have noted before in more detail and help to explain why the Alliance for Natural Foods had to wait to challenge the directive until the UK implemented the directive). We may not get to the next packet next week as there is a lot to think about in the food supplements cases.
