Will

"In a year when we will need to become more fluent in EU article-speak, article 7 – the EU’s as yet untested vehicle for imposing sanctions – will be in the spotlight." (The Guardian.)

Is there any grammatical reason in using the helping verb "will" after the conjunction "when" in the above?
  

Top answer

Yes. When is functioning as a relative, not a temporal, subordinator. It means 'in which'.
