C-43/75 case
The C-43/75 case, decided by the Court of Justice of the European Communities, involved the issue of whether a legal rule requiring the use of a particular language in official documents could restrict the freedom of trade and establish unfair barriers for businesses. The court ruled that such language requirements must not create unnecessary obstacles to trade within the European Community. This decision highlighted the importance of ensuring that member states do not impose regulations that unjustly limit the economic activities of businesses from other member states, promoting fair competition and the single market principle.
