Abstract

The principle of proportionality bridges legal thinking all around the world. From its German origins, it has expanded to national and international jurisdictions alike. At present, the principle forms an indispensable part of the judicial review conducted by the Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. Despite its apparent omnipresence, a closer look at the principle’s usage reveals many different forms of application and varying degrees of intensity of judicial review.
This chapter sets out the specifics of this “uberprinciple” of law in the EEA legal order and its application beyond. It takes into account not only the Court’s case law, but also developments in other jurisdictions. In particular, the chapter discusses the application of proportionality by the courts of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, both in dealing with domestic law and the application of EEA law. Particular emphasis is placed on the operation of the preliminary reference procedure in this regard.

Similarly Stone Sweet and Mathews (2008). In this article, the authors contend that “specific identifiable agents (judges and law professors-turned judges) were instrumental in bringing [proportionality analysis] to treaty based regimes… In principle one could map the network of individuals and the connections between institutions that facilitated the spread of [proportionality analysis]”.

Ueda (2003), p. 564, asks: “How can we estimate with any degree of precision the costs and benefits concerned with the operation of any measure? To what extent can we conceive of the concerned losses or gains in terms of tangible costs and benefits? How can we address ripple and indirect effects? … How do we reckon invisible or non-pecuniary costs and benefits, such as opportunity costs or enjoyment of a pristine environment?”

These provisions have been referred to by the ECtHR in Case Hafsteindóttir v Iceland, paragraph 33. They are summarised as provisions which codified “notably the limited powers conferred on the police (by a so-called general mandate) to take such measures as are necessary to maintain law and order and the rule of proportionality applying to the use of force.”

Compare for example the finding of the majority in paragraph 79 which attaches some weight to the possibility of administrative manoeuvre, albeit not directly naming institutional balance. (“I add that, should the expulsion in the present case be regarded as disproportionate, it would be difficult to envisage when it should be possible to expel a foreign national who has a child with a person holding a residence permit. It would have the consequence that a foreign national in such a situation would normally be protected against expulsion. It would imply a change in current practice, and would moreover have clearly undesirable aspects.”).

The Spanish port system was amended very recently. See Real Decreto-ley 4/2017, de 24 de febrero, por el que se modifica el régimen de los trabajadores para la prestación del servicio portuario de manipulación de mercancías dando cumplimiento a la Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea de 11 de diciembre de 2014, recaída en el asunto C-576/13 (procedimiento de infracción 2009/4052).

In paragraph 47 the Supreme Court states: “Det kreves med andre ord at de alternative tiltak skal være likeverdige med hensyn til måloppnåelse, og det må være åpenbart at dette er tilfellet”. And Ibid., paragraph 62: “Det er ikke fra den ankende parts side gjort gjeldende at det er forskningsmessig belegg for at den effekt reklame må antas å ha for totalvolumet vil bli eliminert ved innføring av restriksjoner på hvordan alkoholreklame tillates utformet, eventuelt ved at det også innføres påbud om at det skal inntas helseadvarsel i alle annonser. Den ankende part har imidlertid gjort gjeldende at det ikke er fremlagt dokumentasjon for at det anførte alternative tiltak vil være uten virkning, og at dette innebærer at staten ikke har fylt sin bevisbyrde, og at totalforbudet da må anses unødvendig. Jeg finner det klart at heller ikke den teoretiske mulighet for at innholdsmessige begrensninger skulle ha like god effekt som et totalforbud, kan føre til at totalforbudet anses uforholdsmessig. Det må sies å være en naturlig formodning for at reklame, også med innholdsmessige begrensninger, vil ha betydning for totalforbruket, og det er ikke særlige omstendigheter som kan begrunne en bevisføringsplikt for staten utover dette, jf. EFTA-domstolens angivelse av. at det må være åpenbart at de alternative tiltak vil sikre den samme måloppnåelse.”

282
Ibid., paragraph 60: “The restriction placed on the monopoly provider must be taken into account when identifying the level of protection … A low level of protection exists if the Norwegian authorities tolerate high numbers of gaming opportunities and a high level of gaming activity. Important factors … are restrictions on how often per week or per day games are on offer, restrictions on the number of outlets which offer games of chance and on sales and marketing activities of the outlets, as well as restrictions on advertising and on development of new games…”.
 
283
Ibid., paragraph 61; the Court held in particular that the national court must determine factors such as the extent and effect of marketing and “whether the advertising of the gambling and betting services is rather informative than evocative in nature”.
