The ‘German court has set a bomb under the EU legal order’. This is certainly no overstatement from Martin Sandbu, influential columnist for the Financial Times, considering the explosive nature of the final ruling issued by the German Federal Constitutional Court in the Weiss saga. Beyond its inappropriate timing and aggressive tone, the decision has struck commentators by its many structural ramifications for the European polity. We might still lack hindsight to critically assess the legacy of the PSPP ruling, and the deeper evolutions it will set in motion. There is no doubt, however, that the deflagration will be profoundly felt in the European Union constitutional order, the European judicial landscape and the Eurozone. Certainly, this is a landmark decision, which will quickly make its way into European law textbooks.
