"Perhaps I need to rephrase my concern slightly into a question. Why is that the direct effect of directives and the fact this is contingent on ""certain conditions"" worth mentioning, but direct effect of regulations and even treaty articles under ""certain conditions"" isn't? Suggesting that directives require certain conditions to become directly effective and not saying the same for regulations and treaty articles implies that either 1) they have no such direct effects (false) or 2) they do not have to satisfy these unexplained ""certain conditions"".
