Regarding the ICJ ruling and the advisory opinion, some of the lines from it refer to abstaining "from entering into economic or trade dealings". Can this be interpreted as abstaining from entering into new dealings in trade? When it refers to taking "steps to prevent", we often hear it said in this committee that the ruling was to ban trade, but the wording is "to take steps to prevent". We know there are other EU countries that see this ruling differently. What is Professor Tridimas' interpretation of the meaning of "to take steps to prevent" and what is the difference between that phrase and "ban"?
