Mr Advocate General Carl Otto Lenz delivered his Opinion on 17 April 1991. (*) He proposed that the Court should rule as follows:
"The questions referred to the Court should be answered in the same way as in Case C-23/89. The ruling to be given is therefore that Article 30 of the Treaty must be construed as meaning that national provisions prohibiting the sale of lawful sex articles from unlicensed shops do not constitute measures having an effect equivalent to quantitative restrictions on imports."
