Nothing much has come out of those subtle German decisions.

The Faroes have received OK from the Danish foreign ministry to bring the case against the EU. <br /><br />There are also some internal Danish constitutional problems - the fishing boats from the Faroes may not land in EU harbours, but it is not certain that the Danish constitution allows barring the Faroe ships from Danish harbours - given that the Faroes are under sovereingty of the Kingdom of Denmark!<br /><br />Here is another unfinished question. You may remember that quite recently there was a case in the Danish Constitutional Court regarding the Lisbon treaty. True, the eurosceptics lost the case, but what was never discussed (in foreign media at least) was the actual decision which makes the Danish position very much like the German one; ie the Danish High Court (DHC) does not consider the Danish consitution subjugated to the Lisbon treaty and the ECJ.<br /><br />Complicated....<br /><br />/MikgenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
