This is a good example of how the debate suffers from the complexity of the issues. Technically (with some exceptions) cases arrive at the ECJ through references by national courts...
... There is an obligation to make a reference in some circumstances, but no EU individual right. Some national laws provide a right to a reference under some circumstances, eg Germany...
... at issue here are references by U.K. courts. References by the dispute settlement mechanism are envisaged. ...
... not many MPs know the details I fear. Then everyone needs to spin their position to fit political needs and the outcome to fit their position...
... I fear in the end we need to see the details to understand what the spin means.
Just to make this clear: this is not meant as criticism of @JP_Biz - he’s doing great work. Not even of the question. But my point is that somewhere between technical text, translation for general audience & politics the meaning gets fudged
