Excuse me, Dlk79, what do you mean by HB case?Hold on, I'm confused now. Can you explain what is meant by these comments in the report -
"The Defendant and Ireland contend that such a circumstance does not affect the application of the specialty principle."
...The defendant and Ireland are therefore right to say that the application of the exception in Article 27 (3) (a) of Framework Decision 2002/584 is conditional on voluntary return, but wrong in their assumption that his forced return is not subject to his voluntary return Departure reactivated the principle of specialty based on the first handover."
Is this saying that the reason Irish government representatives were involved in the initial Appeal hearing was because they were agreeing with CB on the extradition principle of specialty, and that his rape trial was illegal? Most people assumed it was to do with their vested interest in the HB case but this reads quite differently.
Oh, yes, Ireland was on the CB side. It showed up at the first trial a few weeks ago. That's why people in Germany were so sceptical about the ECJ ruling.
But I didn't want to talk about it so much, in order not to appear nationalistic or to give the impression that I was discrediting Ireland. It is their right to do so.
