1 Article 207 provides the following:
2. The European Parliament and the Council, acting by means of regulations in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, shall adopt the measures defining the framework for implementing the common commercial policy.
...
6. The exercise of the competences conferred by this Article in the field of the common commercial policy shall not affect the delimitation of competences between the Union and the Member States, and shall not lead to harmonisation of legislative or regulatory provisions of the Member States in so far as the Treaties exclude such harmonisation.
2 On this understanding, see also the decisions of the European Court of Justice in Sanz de Lera and Others, Case C-163/94, 1995 E.C.R. 1-4821, marg. 34. See also Trammer & Mayer, Case C-222/97, 1999 E.C.R. 1-1661, marg. 21 (concerning the same distinction in the context of the freedom of capital movement).
