What is noteworthy here is that the SPD blocked all of the Bavarian CSU's last-minute modification proposals. Theyblocked even the one proposal that was accepted and endorsed by the joint CDU/CSU faction: the laws passed Bundestag and Bundesrat without an accompanying text declaring the constitutional court's superiority over EU law. (As a 'compromise', a wholly non-binding statement to that effect will be delivered as personal message from chancellor Merkel to other members of the European Council...)
