259National rules or a national practice under which the decisions of the national constitutional court are binding on the ordinary courts, even where the latter are of the view, in the light of a judgment given on a request for a preliminary ruling by the Court of Justice, that the case-law established in those constitutional decisions is contrary to EU law, can prevent those courts from ensuring that full effect is given to the requirements of EU law; that preventive effect may be heightened by the fact that the national law classifies any non-compliance with such constitutional case-law as a disciplinary offence.
