Judgment_paragraph 47 · Pfotenhilfe-Ungarn e.V. v Ministerium für Energiewende, Landwirtschaft, Umwelt und ländliche Räume des Landes Schleswig-Holstein (C-301/14)

47The Court has consistently held that ‘goods’ for the purposes of that provision means goods which can be valued in money and which are capable, as such, of forming the subject of commercial transactions (see, to that effect, judgment in Commission v Italy, 7/66, EU:C:1968:51, p. 428). That definition includes animals (see, to that effect, judgment in Commission v Belgium, C‑100/08, EU;C:2009:537, paragraph 83). As the Advocate General noted in point 63 of her Opinion, the provisions of the FEU Treaty on free movement of goods apply irrespective of whether the goods concerned are being transported across national frontiers for the purposes of sale or resale, or rather for personal use or consumption (see, to that effect, judgment in Schumacher, 215/87, EU:C:1989:111, paragraph 23).
