Destination country principle (EU law)
The target country principle is a term related to the approximation of laws in the European Union and the establishment of a European internal market .
It was discussed primarily in connection with the liberalization of the freedom to provide services and objected to the country of origin principle in the draft European services directive by the then EU Commissioner Frits Bolkestein .
While, according to the country of origin principle, a service provider who goes to another Member State for the duration of a service is still subject to the provisions of his home country ("Member State of origin"), service providers must comply with the legal requirements in the country of destination ("Member State of destination") according to the country of destination principle. The application of the country of origin principle leads to social dumping in the destination country if the national standards differ .
In European sales tax law or the posting directive , the terms destination and country of origin principle are used .
