Amendment wording

Tabled by Tamás Deutsch, Julien Sanchez

Added: 53a. Notes that the Commission’s annual rule of law report has shown clear political bias in recent years; regrets the fact that the report does not present an objective and substantiated picture of the rule of law situation in the Member States; highlights the fact that this report cannot serve as a basis for any further EU mechanisms or procedures; deplores the fact that the Commission includes inputs from NGOs funded by the EU itself and, more worryingly, in some cases by non-EU governments when drafting its annual rule of law report;

What is this about?

  • The conditionality mechanism aims to protect the EU budget from risks linked to breaches of the rule of law by imposing financial measures when budgetary soundness is threatened.
  • Its objective is to ensure compliance with core EU values such as democracy and human rights while maintaining public trust in the Union.
  • So far, the regulation has primarily been applied in Hungary, with limited enforcement in other member states.
  • Political delays and a lack of transparency in its application have undermined the tool’s credibility.
  • Future implementation must be more consistent and free from political interference to enhance its effectiveness.
