The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled recently that there is no difference between the notion of a country and a state in EU law, contrary to a ruling of the General Court of the European Union (GCEU) in 2020. In Case T-370/19 concerning the EU Commission decisions to let Western Balkan countries participate in the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) through the admission of the regulatory body in Kosovo, the GCEU recognized that in addition to states and international organizations, countries are also international law actors too, since the international community is not made up of states alone, thus recognizing a substantial difference between the notion of state and third country. While in its newly published judgment, the CJEU does not support the same conclusion, arguing that in EU law the two notions are used interchangeably, since both notions are used in EU law in different language versions, making it impossible to determine the difference, on the literal interpretation of the Treaties and in particular Part Five of the TFEU. Therefore, this article discusses the potential impact the ruling may have on EU law, including the importance that the use of semantics has on EU law.
