Abstract
<p>This case note analyses the French Conseil constitutionnel's CETA decision of 31 July 2017 (ECLI:FR:CC:2017:2017.749.DC). The Conseil was the first national court to reach a substantive judgment on whether CETA was compatible with an EU Member State’s constitution, concluding that there was nothing in CETA that was at odds with French constitutional law. Given that CETA will also be subject to ex ante review at the European Court of Justice requested by Belgium, the Conseil constitutionnel’s decision is another milestone in the judicial saga surrounding CETA, but not the end of the road. The note argues that the Conseil employed a dynamic and cooperative interpretation of sovereignty and showed a strong attitude of deference both to France’s political branches and to the EU in terms of international treaty-making. There are, however, some aspects where the decision would have benefited from greater clarity. Nonetheless, instead of undermining France’s constitutional order, the Conseil confirmed the fundamental commitment of France to European integration and international cooperation. More particularly, it refrained from unduly interfering with the ability of the EU and its Member States to continue operating as a collective international actor.<br /></p>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
