Elliniki Radiophonia Tileorassi AE v Pliroforissis and Kouvelas (Elliniki Radiophonia Tileorassi (ERT) AE v Dimotiki Etairia Pliroforissis and Sotirios Kouvelas) (1991) C-260/89 is an EU law case, concerning the free movement of services in the European Union.
Facts[edit]
ERT, a Greek radio and TV company, had exclusive rights for broadcasting, and claimed an injunction against Pliroforissis and Kouvelas for setting up a rival TV station without a licence. They claimed they should be allowed to operate under the right to free movement of goods and competition law, and the ECHR article 10 on freedom of expression.
Judgment[edit]
The Court of Justice held that the derogations from the right to free movement had to be appraised in light of the European Convention on Human Rights.
