13 Further case law Germany v Council C-280/93 [1994] -CJEU: GATT provisions cannot be invoked in a court - confirmed in Portugal v Council C-149/96 [1999] Reasoning: (from International Fruit) GATT based on the principle of negotiation undertaken on the basis of reciprocal and mutually advantageous arrangements.
14 But.. CJEU will review EU legislation in light of WTO in 2 situations: (a) (b) where implementing particular WTO obligation where EU refers expressly to WTO precise provisions
15 .. and in Germany v Council [1994] The primacy of international agreements concluded by the [Union] over provisions of secondary [Union] legislation means that such provisions must, so far as possible, be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with these agreements.
