Official Journal of the European Union

27.9.2008

In view of the foregoing, the Commission is of the view that the
Czech legislation constitutes a measure having equivalent effect
to a quantitative restriction within the meaning of Article 28 EC.
That measure is incapable of procuring the protection of the
health and life of humans and the environment or road safety
and is thus not justified by Article 30 of the EC Treaty or by the
case-law of the European Court of Justice.

(1) Law No 56/2001 Coll. on conditions for operating vehicles on roads
and on changes in Law No 168/1999 Coll. on liability insurance for
damage caused by operating a vehicle and on changes in various
related laws (‘Law on liability insurance for operating a vehicle’), as
amended by Law No 307/1999 Coll.
