Why it matters

What to watch

• Whether the ruling changes how EU institutions, regulators or companies can act immediately.
• Implications for sanctions and external-policy legal durability.
• Follow-up from the Commission, Council, national governments, regulators or affected companies after the court step.
• Whether the case creates a precedent that should be pinned as a durable legal or policy milestone.
