Abstract
In 2009 the CJEU delivered its judgment in the so-called Trailers case, offering a new perspective on the enigmatic ban on measures having an equivalent effect to a quantitative restrictions (MEQRs). Trailers was a positive, even necessary, development in an area fraught with complications but it left many questions as to the future direction of the CJEU. One decade on, and after several notable judgments, we are now in a position to return to those questions. This contribution explores the impact of Trailers and the relevance today of seminal MEQR decisions like Dassonville, Keck and Cassis de Dijon.
