Abstract:

This paper provides an analysis of the German Packaging Ordinance of 1991 and its effects, focussing particularly on two cases concerning the legislation brought before the European Court of Justice. An historical overview of the development of the legislation is provided; the two European Court cases and the resulting judgments are introduced; and the governmental and academic reactions to these judgments are discussed to establish whether the rulings are either ambiguous or provide clear guidance for the German Government.
