Judgment_paragraph 33 · Scotch Whisky Association and Others v The Lord Advocate and The Advocate General for Scotland (C-333/14)

33In accordance with settled case-law, a measure having equivalent effect to a quantitative restriction on imports can be justified, for example, on grounds of the protection of the health and life of humans, under Article 36 TFEU, only if that measure is appropriate for securing the achievement of the objective pursued and does not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain it (see, to that effect, judgment in ANETT, C‑456/10, EU:C:2012:241, paragraph 45 and the case-law cited).
