The Osiatyński Archive presents a report on innovative solutions in European Union law concerning the rule of law and areas in need of improvement. Contributors: Barbara Grabowska-Moroz | Daniel Hegedüs | Maciej Krogel | John Morijn | Patryk Wachowiec | Edit Zgut-Przybylska.
In this second special report from the Wiktor Osiatyński Archive, the authors reflect on the innovative applications of EU law since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine – a moment that also proved to be a turning point in terms of the approach of EU institutions and governments of Member States to the rule of law crisis, especially in Hungary, but also in Poland.
They highlight the mechanisms for protecting the EU budget through the conditionality principle, which permeates EU law, making the receipt of European funds conditional on respect for EU values. They also show that EU law applies in the inflammatory area of the rule of law crisis, namely attacks on prosecutors who criticize negative developments in the judiciary. They also point to areas where EU law needs to be rethought, such as in the case of the regulation of the participation of civil society organizations and initiatives in procedures to protect the rule of law.
The report can be downloaded from the Wiktor Osiatyński Archive website.
