This year EU Internal Market’s Seminar will focus on the topic of Jan Zglinski’s (Assistant Professor of Law at London School of Economics) paper: ‘The End of Negative Market Integration: 60 Years of Free Movement of Goods Litigation (1961-2020).’

The free movement of goods is widely believed to be a prime example of the negative integration paradigm. Its defining characteristic is a strong judicial process, fuelled by – and fuelling – litigation, which eclipses the weak(er) political process. Based on a new dataset of all Article 34 TFEU cases decided by the CJEU between 1961 and 2020, it will be shown that goods litigation has been disappearing from the Court’s docket since the mid-1980s.
