Some claim that freedom of speech places the press and other news gathering organizations outside of any government law or regulation that is not a law of general application (that is, a law affecting the news media only in the same way that all other Canadians are affected).[14] Supporters of this argument believe that the Charter rights of news and information organizations supersede any special laws that might apply to them.

Has the Commission been informed by the Greek authorities about the precise content of the legislative arrangements governing this specific mathematical formula and the proposals for modifying it published in the media and to what extent these are compatible with Community law and the rules of competition?

According to the prevailing doctrine of the primacy of the international legal order, one of the norms obtained by custom and conviction constitutes the basis for the validity of the legal orders of individual States. The latter are subordinate to international law by virtue of the context in which they come into being. ...[+++] Another one of the principles obtained from the basic norm 'custom and conviction create international law' is that international treaties (in other words, non-customary sources of law) must be complied with ('pacta sunt servanda'). Under another principle of international law, the law of States, which are conceived as the primary subjects of international law, is left essentially untouched by international law and that each of those States is itself competent to regulate the validity and scope of international law within its domestic sphere of influence and that States are entitled to develop their domestic sphere of influence inwards.
