CJEU clarifies application of the 'double jeopardy' rule within EU. Once this person's criminal liability was ruled on in Germany, other Member States could not arrest him as regards the same facts, even on the basis of Interpol red notice issued by USA:

The CJEU also interprets the EU law on data protection and law enforcement (which is distinct from/parallel to the GDPR) in this context.
Interesting CJEU AG opinion on sanctions - not *EU* sanctions here, but US sanctions (in this case Trump's sanctions on Iran) vs. EU law intended to block companies from compliance with non-EU sanctions. Full text of opinion - curia.europa.eu/juris/document…

Note - Court strikes down Commission decision because of an inadequate statement of reasons. The Commission rejected registering the ECI on the grounds that this was foreign policy, not trade policy. Neither is a view on the merits of whether trade with settlements *should* end.
Remains to be seen if Commission registers ECI or refuses to again, based on a fuller statement of reasons. IF it's registered and gets 1 million signatures that doesn't mean Commission must propose ban on trade with settlements - case law says it has discretion how to respond.
EU General Court - case arguing that "Bavarian Weed" should have been registered as an EU trade mark fails. Full text: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
(nb all General Court judgments may be appealed to the CJEU - although there's a quasi-leave to appeal process re EU trade mark cases)
