Here, my Fweeps, is the CRUCIAL provision of the agreement, page 9:

"Article COMPROV.13: Public international law:

"1. The provisions of this Agreement and any supplementing agreement shall be interpreted in good faith in accordance with their ordinary meaning in their context and in light of the object and purpose of the agreement in accordance with customary rules ...

of interpretation of public international law, including those codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, done at Vienna on 23 May 1969."

"2. For greater certainty, neither this Agreement nor any supplementing agreement establishes an obligation to interpret their provisions in accordance with the domestic law of either Party."

"3. For greater certainty, an interpretation of this Agreement or any supplementing agreement given by the courts of either Party shall not be binding on the courts of the other Party."

What this means, is that we are FREE of the benighted European Court of Justice, the arbiter of the neo-liberal Treaty of Lisbon, forcing through privatisation at every step.
