cúlra
The resolution voted on by MEPs today is the conclusion of the díospóireacht held at the previous plenary session, where MEPs reminded the Commission that the rule-of-law conditionality mechanism has already been in force since 1 January 2021.
Almost all speakers in that debate reiterated that the Regulation is legally binding – regardless of the position adopted by the An Chomhairle Eorpach, which carries no legal effect, and despite the ongoing legal actions before the Court of Justice of the European Union, which do not have any suspensory effect. The rule-of-law conditionality mechanism is a new tool designed to protect EU funds from being misused by EU governments who are found to have failed to respect the principle of the rule of law.
