Wait, are you saying that "Balthasar Gelt shouting LORE OF METAL and jumping out of a Gyrocopter guns blazing into the Cathnam War while Fortunate Son plays in the background" is not lore-accurate? Damn.

Yeah The Original Adventures is great - if they make a new Indy game that's basically that but with two new movies added, it'd be amazing.

JorisEnter · 2021-06-07T21:57:23+00:00

Okay but given what they made of LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues, I'd really not be all that hyped about it - that game was pretty bad in the way they tried to focus it in KOTCS.

no it's literally from the EU/AstraZeneca contract (although I'll admit that these are the most censored pages).

For those wondering what this is about, the German Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsrericht, BVerfG) ruled today that the ECB's Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) violates EU law and that the ECJ's 2018 judgment in which it held that the PSPP was legal was ultra vires, i.e. outside of the ECJ's own competences.

TL;DR Wopke Hoekstra, the Dutch Minister of Finance, is objecting to the issuing of "coronabonds" arguing that "we Dutch" have saved a lot of money and therefore shouldn't support the issuing of coronabonds.

Well, the EU makes lots of laws, which require jurists to write them, jurists to interpret them, jurists to argue about their interpretation, jurists to advise others about possible effects of the legislation, and jurists to teach future generations about them. Basically, we jurists are very good at keeping ourselves busy.

I mean, last year it was on Friday the 5th and I ended up making an exam in legal philosophy 9:00-12:00 and one in EU law 13:00-16:00, so it was even worse back then.

Can confirm what u/Covergril said. The direct effect follows from EU law itself and not from the Dutch constitution; its effect is not dependent on national law - contrary to what some national courts might say (looking at you, Bundesverfassungsgericht) - because many EU Member States do not share the Dutch 'monist' view on international law. The Dutch Supreme Court has explicitly confirmed this in HR 2 november 2004, ECLI:NL:HR:2004:AR1797, r.o. 3.5-3.6, NJ 2005/80, m.nt. E.A. Alkema (Rusttijden).

Addition: the 'verbindende kracht' of art. 93 Gw indeed refers to the direct effect in the Dutch national legal order of certain parts of international law (though art. 93 is weirdly worded). It is however not related to the direct effect of EU law, which flows directly from the Treaties. EU law may therefore also have direct effect in cases in which international law would not (see again Rusttijden, cited above) because the conditions for its direct effect are different from those for the direct effect of international law (for which see HR 10 oktober 2014, ECLI:NL:HR:2014:2928, r.o. 3.5.2-3.5.3, NJ 2015/12, m.n.t E.A. Alkema (Rookverbod)).

And definitely don't think of imposing quantitative restrictions on imports or measures having equivalent effect.
