102It should be recalled that the material scope of the ECSC Treaty was limited. The ECSC Treaty was in fact concerned with only two products, coal and steel, as defined in Article 81 CS and in Annex I to the ECSC Treaty. Given that the EEC Treaty (which became the EC Treaty) is drafted in general terms applying to all sectors of the economy and therefore in principle also to products coming under the ECSC Treaty (see, to that effect, Opinion 1/94, cited in paragraph 57 above, paragraph 27), the authors of the EC Treaty included a provision with the intention of avoiding the primacy of the EC Treaty provisions over ECSC Treaty provisions.
