Alberto runs a business specializing in the sale of Italian food products in Italy. During the pandemic, he switched to selling products online only, but has encountered the following difficulties as he tries to expand his business outside of Italy:

(a) Lithuania requires all sun-dried tomatoes to be charged 1 for every mile they travel from the point of production to the point they are sold in order to encourage a reduction in environmental impact;

(b) French law requires that olive oil bottles sold in France must clearly indicate the country of origin; (c) In Finland it is illegal to advertise wine online, regardless of origin, but this prohibition does not apply to other types of alcoholic beverages such as beer or vodka, which are produced locally.

Advise Alberto as to the legality of the EU law issues arising regarding the free movement of goods with respect to

(a) the Lithuanian environmental charge;

(b) the French labeling requirement and

(c) the Finnish advertising prohibition.
