Establishment of an EU Mechanism on Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights
On 25 October 2016 the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on the Commission to submit a proposal for the establishment of an EU mechanism on democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights. This new mechanism should ensure that all EU Member States respect the values enshrined in the EU treaties and set clear, evidence-based and non-political criteria for assessing their records on these areas.
The European Union Pact on Democracy, the Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights proposed by the Parliament includes the organisation of an annual interparliamentary debate as a key element for the monitoring of the situation in Member States.
The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and home Affairs will invite Members of National Parliaments to an Interparliamentary Committee Meeting on "the Establishment of an EU Mechanism on Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights".
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday 22 June 2017, from 9h00 to 12h30 in the European Parliament in Brussels.
