#Poland's #RuleofLaw breakdown (ECHR dimension): Quite fitting to see Poland's autocratic ruling coalition relying on Soviet-era prosecutor to accelerate putinisation of Poland's legal (dis)order. Good luck to Ursula von der Leyen European Commission justifying release of EU recovery fund now

#Poland's #RuleofLaw breakdown: Notwithstanding war next door, PL ruling coalition continuing to openly violate judgments from ECJ & ECtHR, later having demanded urgent remedial action re inherently flawed neo-NCJ twice already. Expect further deepening of legal chaos in PL

"Quality over speed"... To be added to litany of excuses (incl unlawful ones) coming out of Berlaymont building: 1/ need to give time to dialogue 2/ need to wait for ECJ rulings 3/ need to wait for guidelines 4/ need to wait for after elections 5/ need to wait [add crisis of day]

This is no time to go soft on Rule of Law! A wakeup call by the HELSINKI RULE OF LAW FORUM. verfassungsblog.de/a-declaration-…

"The EU cannot survive without the #ruleoflaw [...] Time is of the essence. Even as the EU confronts profound global challenges, the time for action to uphold the rule of law within the Union is now" Could not agree more & indeed one could say time for action was yesterday

Η υποστελέχωση της Επ.Αντ. παρά τις συνεχείς κρούσεις της Αρχής ήδη από τον Μάρτιο 2020 είναι ίσως ένα θέμα που θα πρέπει να δει η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή. Οι λύσεις είναι απλές και πραγματοποιούνται άμεσα εάν επιτέλους υπάρξει κινητοποίηση της πολιτείας...

A reminder too that European Commission have had ample time to ask ECJ for lump sum & penalty payment re deliberate, persistent & industrial scale violation of crucial ECJ #ruleoflaw ruling of 15 July 2021 but has failed to do so. Only been 9 months of open disregard of ECJ ruling

Recht vor Macht oder Macht vor Recht? Die EU-Kommission ist die Hüterin der Verträge. Prof. Franz C.

Brexit. One of the stupidest political decisions of the last 10 years. Arguably the stupidest. The only good thing one could say considering recent events is that they did not consider or did not dare channeling that populist nationalist stupidity into invading their neighbors.

In an open letter, Polish and international civil society organisations urge the Commission to launch an infringement proceedings with respect to Poland's sham National Council of the Judiciary. 🔹 Full letter: ruleoflaw.pl/open-letter-to…

Still no implementation of ECJ treaty infringement rulings. The recovery fund 36 billion for PL are not available until the Council gives a green light. Vote scheduled for 17 June. Might even be illegal for the Council to green light money with rule of law violations persisting.

Da schau her, ein Trumpist ist er auch noch. Wenn die Wahlergebnisse nicht genehm sind die Ergebnisse einfach bestreiten und "Manipulation" schreien.

We are pleased to announce that Managing Partner, Prof. Prof. Dr. A. Metaxas and Senior Associate, Ms. Vassiliki Koumpli, have been selected and appointed on European Commission's panel of #arbitrators and #TSD experts in bilateral #disputes under #EU trade agreements. bit.ly/39T2b6y

Does the report mention that the EU’s first autocracy (Orbán’s regime in Hungary) declared Commissioner Věra Jourová persona non grata for her work trying to defend rule of law in Hungary? Or does Ursula von der Leyen continue to throw her colleague under the bus to appease Orbán?

BREAKING! Four European associations of judges have lodged an action for annulment of the Council's decision to approve Poland's Recovery and Resilience Plan as the judicial "milestones" included therein violate EU Treaties and judgments of the CJEU.

100 Jahre. 81 Tagungen. Nur Krieg und Corona konnte die Vereinigung aufhalten.

Fahrlässiges Zündeln mit Reparationsforderungen entspr. konzeptionell dem Putinismus/Orbanismus: die post-1945 legal/political settlements werden aus rein nationaler Froschperspektive in Frage gestellt. Wenn frz Politik 1950 so agiert hätte hätte es europ Integration nie gegeben.
