This "crux" misses point 72 of the ruling which states that EU law does not prohibit national law from (a) finding a different balance between privacy and freedom of expression and, thus, from (b) requiring the de-listing of the relevant name-search result on all versions of the search engine (i.e. globally).
This ruling is not the end of the case -- this is the EU law's top court ruling -- the case now goes back to the French court, to decide.
