Article 16 is designed to cover ‘economic, societal or environmental difficulties’ and the question would be what ‘economic, societal or environmental difficulties’ have occurred that could not have been foreseen before the agreement was put in place. If it's the general principles of the agreement as it is right now, then that surely is a failure to understand what was signed isn't it?
