         Question referred
      
      Given the primacy of EU law, must the principles of legal certainty and effectiveness be interpreted as precluding, in disputes concerning the protection of consumer rights, the alteration of the procedural rules, after the consumer has brought an action before the courts, by means of a binding decision of the Curtea Constituțională (Constitutional Court), to which effect is given in a law amending the Codul de procedură civilă (Code of Civil Procedure), which institutes a new means of appeal, one that can be used by the trader, with the result that the duration of the proceedings is extended and the costs of resolving the dispute are increased?
