Re: We have a new Treaty for Europe (4.00 / 3)

The problem is the difference between the aims - what the legislatin is meant to achieve - and its actual effect, which is decided by the courts. The summary would be meaningless and, even worse, would be called dishonest by the anti-crowd where it disagrees with their interpretation of the language in the real stuff.

Re: We have a new Treaty for Europe (none / 1)

It is possible for the courts to interpret legislation with the purpose of the legislation and what it is meant to achieve in mind. I know all sorts of things get overturned from one case to another though. I'm not ignorant of the complexities or totally removed from the pragmatics but I suppose I am idealistic about what I'd really like to see.

Ad astra per aspera
