Just finished reading the European Parliament resolution of 10 March 2022 on the #ruleoflaw & consequences of ECJ twin conditionality rulings. Worth reading carefully: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…

Contains (justifiably) stringent criticism of @vonderleyen @EU_Commission & @EUCouncil. Some highlights:
🔴 “absence" of Com Pres from plenary debate "demonstrates a *lack of respect*” (unprecedented tbomk)
🔴 “unacceptable” failure by to discuss Art 2 TEU interinst agreement

🔴 Regrets Comm’s decision “to abide by the non-binding European Council conclusions of 11 December 2020” (some aspects of which are legally wrong as made clear by ECJ since)
🔴 Regrets Comm’s “inadequate response” to the ECJ rulings of 16 Feb 2022 re superfluous guidelines

🔴 Recalls Comm’s duty “duty to implement EU legislation regardless of electoral timetables in the Member States”
🔴 Denounces Comm’s “attempt to play for time” and Council’s failure to make an effective use of Art 7(1) TEU

🔴 Denounces inaction & lax "approach towards oligarchic structures" & "systemic violation of the rule of law" (good to see EP using both concepts)
🔴 Underlines "need to ensure that taxpayers’ money never ends up in the pockets of those who undermine the EU’s shared values"

🔴 Poland gets special mention: “whereas the three conditions for disbursing the Recovery and Resilience Facility funds [...] mentioned by [@vonderleyen on 19 Oct 2021] have not yet been fulfilled” (Reminder: yesterday Polish authorities deepened Polexit from Art 6(1) ECHR) (end)
