Perhaps you've confused yourself by using "ean" as both an input and an
output column name? I think that the "ean" in the DISTINCT ON clause
will effectively refer to that CASE-expression, whereas the one in the
WHERE clause is just referring to the underlying column (and thus making
the IS NULL test in the CASE rather pointless).
