New Directions in Judicial Review? Proportionality, Subsidiarity and Impact Assessment in the Tobacco Product Directive Case

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearch

Abstract

In this essay in honour of Christina Moëll, we focus on one particular recent case: the Philip Morris case delivered in May 2016 where the European Court of Justice (ECJ) rules on the validity of the Tobacco Product Directive case.1 It is a key case on the application of the principle of proportionality but not only since it connects this principle with other constitutional principles putting limits to the regulatory action such as fundamental rights and the principle of subsidiarity. This case constitutes a
perfect illustration of ‘administrative constitutionalism’, a doctrine which encapsulates the academic work of Christina Moëll in a nutshell.
