European Parliament calls for a European pact for democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights
The European Parliament has today given broad support to the In ‘t Veld legislative initiative report, calling on the Commission to submit a proposal for an objective and non-politicised mechanism to protect democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights (DRF) in the European Union. The DRF Pact, as proposed by the rapporteur Sophie in ’t Veld, would help to prevent and correct breaches of EU values in all Member States and the EU Institutions. The new tool would also foster the credibility of the EU and help reinforce mutual trust and stability in the Union.
