**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the role of the European Court of Justice in resolving disputes between member states of the European Union. The language used is formal and technical, suggesting a context related to international law and diplomacy. The text also mentions the reluctance of some states to accept the court's jurisdiction, which may be related to issues of sovereignty and national interest.
