Indeed, upon closer examination, it appears to be a setback for their efforts. I have written a comprehensive article examining the claim by Infrastructure Services Luxembourg S.Γ€.R.L. against the Kingdom of Spain, delving into this matter’s puzzle.

It is interesting to note that the legal discourse surrounding this case focused on the differentiation between Β«π’“π’†π’„π’π’ˆπ’π’Šπ’•π’Šπ’π’,Β» Β«π’†π’π’‡π’π’“π’„π’†π’Žπ’†π’π’•Β», and, most significantly, Β«π’†π’™π’†π’„π’–π’•π’Šπ’π’.Β» Furthermore, the decision made against Spain appears to be the opposite.
