CHAPTER 4

1. The prevailing wisdom of the time on the relationship between capital and the common market was spelled out by the European Court of Justice in 1981, when it ruled on the case of an Italian arrested for attempting to take 24,000 German marks in cash out of the country (Italian law prohibited the unauthorised exportation of foreign currency worth more than 500,000 lire). The European Court of Justice ruled that the Treaty of Rome contained no ‘general principle’ favouring capital freedom, and that the Italian regulations were consistent with EEC laws: ‘At present, it cannot be denied that complete freedom of movement of capital may undermine the economic policy of one of the member states or create an imbalance in its balance of payments, thereby impairing the proper functioning of the common market.’ The Court thus found that, at least in 1981, the success of the common market depended in part on restricting capital mobility.
