    • A French judge, addressing primacy clauses in the filed of private international law, puts it plainly: the primacy clauses represent a surer means to guarantee the interests of the Community than resort to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. See Tell, La 'Disconnecting Clause'/Disconnection Clause, unpublished seminar paper (2001, on file with the author), at 4. Indeed, to his mind, the point of the disconnection clause (and by extension most other primacy clauses as well) is not to solve or mitigate potential conflicts but rather precisely to overcome the lack of adaptation of classical rules of settlement of the conflicts of conventions to apprehend the specificity of the community construction ...

    • Actually, it is not so clear who made the argument. The Court responds to it (para. 130, but without specifying the source, and the opinion does not give a clear rendition either. The Commission came fairly close, however, without endorsing it. Instead, the Commission tried to deflate it (paras. 83-85) by pointing out that exclusiveness of powers was to be determined objectively instead of by reference to a subjective treaty practice, and moreover, a disconnection clause in private law agreements would be different from a regular disconnection clause presumably because such agreements aim to delimit and divide jurisdiction rather than create substantive regimes; and the disconnection clause itself can be seen as merely delimiting jurisdiction. It felt that in the present case there would have been no need for a disconnection clause
