Can the High Representative of the EU đȘđș be in CJEU proceedings âïž in their individual capacity (i.e., not as Commission VP, Head of the EEAS, other 'hats')? Evidently, yes, though with nuances as intervener, applicant, and defendant. My contribution in a new Festschrift:

Is the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) leaning too heavily on 'solidarity' in its rulings? I argue yes, and that is problematic as a matter of legal reasoning. The full article is in current issue of the Maastricht Journal (MJ):

Pleased to see this piece with
@grahambutler.bsky.social
published in the CML Rev. It draws interesting conclusions about the Commission Presidentâs power to dismiss Commissioners, a power we think is more extensive than has been realised in existing literature.

Judgment by the Grand Chamber of the CJEU in Case C-551/21, Commission v Council (Gabon) today. Big win for the Commission. For almost all international agreements (ex. CFSP matters, it is 'it' that signs the treaty (para. 81), and not the Council.

Is a CFSP Common Position 'binding'? Denmark has changed it view. Today's Information newspaper: "Civil service misunderstood arms exports rules and misinformed parliament" (EmbedsvÊrket misforstod regler for vÄbeneksport og fejlinformerede Folketinget).

Can an Member State national/Union citizen (not a third country national) have restrictive measures (sanctions) imposed on them? No clear answer yet. But today's judgment in Case T-313/22, Abramovich (paras. 163-164) appears to say yes:

Opinion. Could the pending Court of Justice (Grand Chamber) judgments in: - KS and KD (Joined Cases C-29/22 P and C-44/22 P), - Neves 77 Solution (Case C-351/22), pave the way for EU accession to the ECHR? In my view: no.
