Joint letter on the state of play of Article 7 procedures

The briefing by the European Commission is bound to include several highly problematic developments in both countries since the last Article 7 discussions held in June this year. These developments include bold defiance of the authority of the Court of Justice of the EU and the European Court of Human Rights by the governments of both Poland and Hungary. The failure to respect, let alone comply with, judgments of these courts constitute a further degradation of the rule of law within the EU that must be halted as a matter of urgency.
