"At one conference, Sir Francis Jacobs (a former Advocate-General of the CJEU) introduced me as ‘one of the Court’s severest critics’. At another conference, a former Council official described how during his time at the Council, its fiercest enemies were myself and Tony Bunyan, the director of Statewatch.

More broadly, my general impression, based on two decades working in the field, is that other specialists in EU law and politics, like me, start from a broadly pro-European perspective but have no compunction about criticising the EU institutions whenever they think it’s justifiable."
