		According to Justice Grimm, it is his hope that the Maastricht decision will have a positive impact (by Germany's definition) on the jurisprudence of the ECJ similar to the influence Solange I had on the development of human rights protection at the European level.

		The Maastricht decision could operate in a manner similar to the Luxembourg Accords in the 1970s and early 1980s: instead of bargaining under the shadow of each Member State's veto power, Member States (in the Council), the Commission and Parliament may now find themselves drafting and negotiating legislation under the shadow of Maastricht.
