Stauder v City of Ulm (1969) Case 29/69 is an EU law case, concerning the protection of human rights in the European Union.

Facts

An EU scheme provided cheap butter for welfare benefits, but required to show a coupon with a person’s name and address. Mr Stauder claimed this violated his dignity and challenged it.

Judgment

The Court of Justice held that properly interpreted, the measure did not require a name to be shown on the coupon. In doing so it acknowledged that human rights formed part of unwritten general principles of EU law.

“

7. Interpreted in this way the provision at issue contains nothing capable of prejudicing the fundamental human rights enshrined in the general principles of Community law and protected by the Court.
