Preparation of the European Council meeting of 15 December 2016 (debate)
Sophia in 't Veld (ALDE), blue-card question. – You said something that I would like to ask your clarification on: you say ‘dictated by the courts’. So do I understand that you now officially say that you no longer accept the independence of the courts – one of the pillars of democracy and the trias politica? A yes or no answer, please.
