@EU_Commission And Commissioner @JHahnEU: the same should, of course, go for Poland. If you see no possibilities, I recommend that you carefully reread the Conditionality Regulation again. (2/2)

Proposal for next week’s @Europarl_EN plenary agenda: replace the title"Implementation of political priorities" (yawn) by a rigourous Question Hour with @vonderleyen on the plans to release EU money for Poland. @rozathun @daniel_freund @katka_cseh @moritzkoerner @BirgitSippelMEP

Poland was right in keeping the first group out. And now Poland is right in providing the second group with a warm welcome.

The #EU should not abuse the terrible situation in #Ukraine to introduce a permanent, mandatory relocation scheme for refugees.

Instead, the EU should stop bashing #Poland and start supporting it. Poland deserves no scold, but praise!

In 1.5 minute I explain the situation:

Broad majority today for a tough EP stance on rule-of-law inside the European Union. The war in Ukraine, and the laudable humanitarian assistance provided in Poland, should neither be an excuse for inactivity or division. Rather, Russian autocracy should be a warning to us all.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 3 mrt 2022, 14:56

If this is true, the other Member States should show that such discrimination is unacceptable to them, and simply activate the TPD. Refugees in Ukraine are obviously in the same need of protection. And remember, Poland doesn’t have a right to veto.

Day 2 after the 🇵🇱🇭🇺#ECJ #RoL conditionality mechanism ruling.

Every day letters remain on desks and procedures are not started, is a lost day for defending- and restoring the #RuleOfLaw

Also announced determined #EC action president @vonderleyen while in Poland?👇🏼

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 16 feb 2022, 21:48

No more pretexts, no more delays. The Rule of Law Conditionality Regulation must be applied in full; and right now.

In Hungary and Poland, this delay has meant agony for judges and journalists, while it has been a boon for autocrats and kleptocrats. No more. Act now!

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) wo 16 feb 2022, 10:07

The ECJ dismisses the cases against the rule of law mechanism by Hungary and Poland.
There is no time for further delays or excuses. The @EU_Commission has to trigger sanctions and defend the rule of law immediately.

On the RoL: we heard big words on the need to protect our democracies from autocrats, whilst so far, the Council has refused to take action. Defending our values means supporting financial sanctions for Poland and Hungary and taking serious steps in the Article 7 procedure.(3/5)

“We have clear indications that infringements are taing place” says @YlvaJohansson about the situation on the Poland-Belarus border. So why does the @EU_Commission not launch infringement proceedings then?? @EP_Justice

Sadly this podcast👇🏼with #FEPS’ amazing @Ania_Skrzypek has lost none of its topicality. The #RuleOfLaw situation in Poland further deteriorated after the 😭 appearance in @Europarl_EN of the 🇵🇱 PM last year.

But we’ll win this fight for the rights of all 🇵🇱 and 🇪🇺 citizens!

@POLITICOEurope The solution is not that hard: push the Israeli government to not export Pegasus to EU member states with a rule of law problem: Slovenia, Poland and Hungary. I’ve had several contacts with the Israeli ambassador (MFA decides on Pegasus export) and the Commission should do so too

Not surprising, but very important!

EU payments must be conditional on proper functioning of rule of law in the EU.

Good to see the AG of the @EUCourtPress dismissing the frivolous actions by Hungary & Poland.

High time for the @EU_Commission to put the instrument to use!!

Suspending EU asylum rules is giving in to the anti-migration rhetoric in Poland. What should be done?
👉🏼 Deploy @EASO to help 🇵🇱 with it’s obligations: process asylum-requests
👉🏼 Temporary facilities and EU relocation
👉🏼 Set up well-functioning EU migration and asylum system.

The Rule of Law crises in Poland & Hungary taught 🇪🇺 to intervene fast if we want to uphold values in the Union.

In Slovenia the RoL functions, but is under direct threat from president Janša. I hope new elections will bring change, but let's watch Janša closely in the meantime.

A ‘pregnancy database’ in Poland is a new tactic to regulate & control women’s bodies. The @EU_Commission should assess this proposal immediately and draw firm conclusions. Questions with @RobertBiedron 👇🏽 #RejestrCiąż

This 👇 You can’t make it up, I first thought it was fake news: a “national pregnancy data base” in Poland. It is sick and insane. The state to literally control women’s bodies. #RejestrCiąż

No EU money can go to Hungary and Poland whilst they violate the Rule of Law. The Commission should trigger the conditionality mechanism, not write letters asking for more information. Members of @EP_Legal will continue to press for action.
