That’s exactly what rule of law is about. A respect for even small technicalities.

- rusk 6y agoYes, but those technicalities were not well understood (by any party). The law in this area is poorly defined and has not yet been well exercised.
- jgilias 6y agoLike thepangolino says, this is exactly what I fell satisfied about. I'm not really arguing that the overall outcome is desirable. I'm simply satisfied that the European Commision is indeed shown to be a subject of the law, not the other way around, as many people tend to believe both inside and outside of the EU. EDIT: A further note. If this eventually makes the combined body of EU institutions come up with clearer laws, all the better.
- rusk 6y agoI understand you now but would you have been as satisfied if the ruling had gone the other way? On the basis of a clear legal ruling of course.
