28On the other hand, where a plant protection product covered by marketing authorisation granted in accordance with the provisions of the Directive in one Member State is imported into another Member State as a parallel import of a plant protection product already covered by marketing authorisation in the Member State of importation, the provisions of the Directive on the procedure for the issue of marketing authorisation do not apply (see, in relation to pharmaceutical products, Case 0201/94 Smith & Nephew and Primecrown [1996] ECR I-5819, paragraph 21, and, in relation to plant protection products, British Agrochemicals Association, paragraph 31). None the less, such a situation falls within the scope of the provisions of the EC Treaty on the free movement of goods.
