This is interesting, if not surprising. The European Court of Justice has confirmed that it will not be bound to apply World Trade Organisation rules.
"Now the Court of Justice has confirmed in Case C-377/02 Léon Van Parys that the WTO agreements are not in principle among the rules in the light of which the Court is to review the legality of measures adopted by the Community institutions. Consequently, an individual cannot in principle plead before a court of a member State that Community legislation is incompatible with certain WTO rules."
Why did we have to waste court time on this in the first place? Don't answer that!
