De europæiske borgere har ret til at købe varer til eget forbrug, inklusive afgifter, i hvilken som helst medlemsstat og tage dem med til en anden medlemsstat uden, at disse varer kontrolleres, og uden at skulle betale eventuelle afgifter på ny.
European citizens have the right to buy goods for their own use, including taxes, in any Member Sate and to take them to another Member Sate without having to subject these goods to controls and without possibly having to pay another set of taxes on them.
