ECJ: Egg liqueur must not contain milk
Background of the decision of the highest European Union court was a dispute from Germany before the regional court Hamburg. An enterprise from Saxonia-Anhalt had driven egg liqueurs out, which contained also milk. The Regional Court had referred the case to Luxembourg.
If the list of ingredients mentioned in the EU law were not considered exhaustive, consumer protection and the good reputation of European spirits could suffer, the Luxembourg judges concluded./asa/DP/jha (dpa)
