Som nævnt, men måske lidt flygtigt i mit foregående svar, har de franske myndigheder forpligtet sig til hurtigst muligt at behandle alle ansøgninger, som indgives inden for rammerne af de nye regler med henblik på at sikre, at systemet kommer til at fungere fuldt ud i den forestående sæson, således at de de facto anvender de nye regler, også før de formelt er blevet vedtaget. Vi har her et eksempel på en ikke for sen, men foregribende anvendelse af regler, som formelt endnu ikke er trådt i kraft.
As I said, perhaps a little rapidly in my earlier answer, the French authorities have undertaken to process as rapidly as possible all of the applications submitted in connection with the new rules to ensure that the system is fully operational in time for the new season, by actually applying the new rules before they are formally adopted: this is an instance not of late application but quite simply of the preventive application of rules that have yet to take effect officially.
