I would say that the Turco case question... stipulates that legislative action can also be interpreted in a future sense. If former legislation is suddenly in an international "trade agreement" you're removing future powers of the parliament to legislate. Currently looking into analyses of the Turco case, although I suspect I'll have to wait until I get some good reference points. It must be an action to remove legislative powers, that's kind of my point. The Parliament is now not allowed to change even single sentences in the IPRED1 directive that may change it's interpretation to something milder, because that would go against the agreement. But reasonably, that must go against what a democratically elected legislative institution is not allowed to do.
That would make it a constiutional issue, I suppose, which is always tricky, especially with a new treaty in place. But the Commission hearing with de Gucht (right?) said it's still the Nice treaty in force (which reminds me I need to ask the library service here to get me information about the applications of the special provisions in art 133(6) as well).
