I
wholeheartedly
support
the
Grand
Chamber
’s
judgment
in
the
present
case
and
its
methodology
.
In
fact
,
it
is
the
very
first
time
that
the
Court
has
addressed
in
a
single
judgment
ex
professo
the
accuracy
of
the
terminology
used
with
regard
to
an
important
concept
of
criminal
law
,
the
historical
background
to
that
concept
and
its
current
regulation
in
the
forty
-
seven
legal
systems
of
the
Council
of
Europe
.
A
linguistic
,
historical
and
comparative
-
law
survey
of
such
dimensions
has
never
been
carried
out
before
and
is
most
welcome
.
Yet
precisely
in
view
of
the
rich
history
of
this
concept
and
its
manifold
variations
in
the
national
legal
systems
surveyed
,
I
feel
obliged
to
make
a
few
additional
remarks
aimed
at
clarification
of
the
principle
established
by
the
Grand
Chamber
and
its
practical
impact
on
the
definition
of
the
criminal
-
law
policies
of
the
member
States
.
