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.

Commissioner-designate Julian King: European liberals and democrats will abstain
During this morning’s meeting of the European Parliament’s Conference of Presidents, ALDE first vice-president Sophie In’t Veld, informed political group leaders that the ALDE Group will vote to abstain on the nomination of Sir Julian King as the British Commissioner. The doubts raised about the suitability of the allocation of the Security Union portfolio to Julian King have led the group to take this decision. While ALDE has no hesitations about the competences of the commissioner-designate, the group considers that the allocation of the Security Union portfolio to Julian King raises questions, given the UK will soon start the process of leaving the EU, as well as the UK’s long-standing opt-out from Justice and Home Affairs measures.
