Swedish Government: Absurd Pouch Restrictions Restrict Free Movement of Goods in the EU

EU governments are imposing stricter regulations on nicotine pouches, with Spain proposing a 0.99 mg limit, potentially hampering free movement of goods. Sweden challenges this move, citing EU laws. Precedents like the Cassis de Dijon case and the German Beer Purity Law indicate that such restrictions may violate EU trade laws. Spain's proposal lacks scientific basis, leaning towards de facto bans. The arbitrary limit may face legal obstacles based on past rulings, emphasizing EU principles on free trade. The EU must intervene to ensure fair market access and support safer alternatives for smokers in Spain.
