extends it to cover issues arising in the context of national security. The
Respondents point out that the Grand Chamber’s Opinion did not address or
consider Article 4 of the Treaty or Article 1(3) of the EPD or the Grand
Chamber decisions referred to in paragraph 72 above, or the question of the
scope of Union law addressed in paragraphs 29 to 45 above, and, so far as
concerns the issue of the Watson Requirements, that it allows (at paragraph
186-189) for automated processing and did not disapprove certain of the
paragraphs of the Opinion of Mengozzi AG above. Both parties are however
agreed that the delivery of the 26 July Decision by the Grand Chamber
reinforces the need for the Reference which we are making and it is therefore
not necessary for this Tribunal to express any views on the effect of the
Opinion on the answers to the issues which are to be referred.
