These orders, valid into the next century, carried few conditions when granted and would not meet current environmental regulations.

"Having said that, I confirm that an unambiguously clear and valid order was issued by a member-state," he continued.

Nomos stands for order, valid and binding on those who fall under its jurisdiction; thus it is a social construct with ethical dimensions.

That order, although made by consent and in terms of an illegal agreement, was a valid order until set aside; it could not be ignored.
