In a ruling of 15 June, the Dutch Supreme Court has said that the European Court’s decision in Sturgeon II is to be expected ‘in the short term’ (‘op korte termijn', para. 3.2). The Dutch Court was supposed to hand down a substantive ruling in the Dutch Sturgeon case in late September. But in its 15 June ruling, the Supreme Court said that ex officio enquiries had made clear that the European Court’s decision is to be expected ‘in the short term’. The Dutch Court therefore decided to postpone its decision until the ruling of the European Court.
The question is, of course, what ‘in the short term’ is exactly means. Everyone who recently asked the European Court when the Sturgeon II decision could be expected was told that this would take ‘months’. It suggested that the decision would not be handed down any earlier than November or December. This does not seem to be exactly the same as ‘in the short term’. It is therefore likely, as I said before, that Sturgeon II is to be handed down this summer. This would make sense because the Advocate General’s Opinion clearly indicated that the case is straightforward.
