He mentioned that he would try to weasel his way around it -

"If the Court questions the conformity of the agreement with the Treaties we will assess at that stage how this can be addressed."

The alternative reading is that in the case either of the parliament or the ECJ rejects the current agreement, he will try to find a compromise that can get the approval of both.

While it is possible that he wants to try to weasel a procedural end-run around rejections, what he's actually said does not provide any basis for jumping to that conclusion.

In fact this guy clarified the rules he must follow.<br> Sadly, the parliament decision has no influence on his work.
