The Free Movement of Goods, the Overseas Countries and Territories, and the EU’s Outermost Regions: Some Problematic Aspects

This article will analyse how the European Union (EU)’s prohibitions on the imposition of customs duties and quantitative restrictions are applied to goods that move between the EU and its regions, countries, and territories that are situated away from continental Europe. The main aim will be to identify some of the problems and difficulties that emerge as a result of the way that the EU and its Member States have decided to delimit the scope of these prohibitions in this context and to consider possible solutions.
