Thread on today's infringement proceedings developments

Commission starts infringement process against Hungary and Poland re LGBT rights
Note:
- the process has to go through further steps before reaching the CJEU
- the complaints are linked to alleged breaches of EU law, not every aspect of the national law
- case against Poland is about failure to cooperate, not the underlying law as such
Commission brings Hungary to CJEU for breach of asylum procedures law

(If the facts are correct this is an obvious breach of the law, unless the court is willing to accept Hungary's invention of a public health exception to it)
Fair trial rights: further steps against Member States allegedly breaching EU law on suspects' access to a lawyer in criminal cases
Home affairs law - including Italy brought before the CJEU for alleged breach of law on data exchange; other Member States allegedly not applying EU counter-terrorism law
Link to the rest of the infringement proceedings developments - including environmental law and internal market law cases

Thread on today's end of term judgments of the CJEU

First, the press release on the latest judgment to find that judicial independence has been compromised in Poland
An infringement proceedings judgment can be enforced by going back to the CJEU and asking it to impose fines in the event of non-compliance. The judgment might also be relevant to applying the EU law linking rule of law breaches with EU funding.

This is a thoughtful read from DAG about the nature of rules. Let me add a few comments about humour, literature and education.
First of all, as many literary characters (such as Mrs Malaprop) have taught us, it's inherently funny if someone uses the wrong bird.

Even more so, if the person concerned is demanding unquestioning obedience and advocating the strictest educational standards.
In this case, a particular children's classic sprung to mind: Matilda.

(Or, as some headmistresses might call it, Godzilla)

Today's CJEU Advocate General's opinion on benefits for EU citizens with pre-settled status is now available in English -
curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
Short summary of the AG opinion.

First, it's not solely about EU citizens in the UK, but would apply to EU citizens who have moved between the remaining Member States too.
Secondly, it concerns equal treatment for benefits for those who are lawfully resident on the basis that national law treats them more generously than EU free movement law requires them to as regards lawful residence.
