My latest article on the action for annulment brought by a Romanian association of prosecutors, challenging the Commission decision to repeal the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism. In this article I present the main challenges for the action, a procedural and substantive analysis of the Commission's actions, and conclude on what this means for the rule of law in Romania

It took me more time than I wished but I finally completed my new article on the two new @Curia judgments related to the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism, delivered a little bit before the Commission decided to abolish the CVM

Bulgaria and Romania off the hook for judicial deficiencies https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/bulgaria-and-romania-off-the-hook-for-judicial-deficiencies/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Bulgaria #CooperationandVerificationMechanism #corruption #CVM
In the latest CVM case, AG Campos Sanchez-Bordona sees a risk of impunity in cases affecting the EU's financial interests. And yet, the European Commission not only has not used the CVM as a sufficient ground to trigger the rule of law conditionality but also wants to close the CVM forever at a time, when this mechanism has become a powerful tool in the local and EU-wide defense of the rule of law

4 years have passed since I last wrote for euinside. During that break, many people asked me what will happen to euinside, will we shut it down or what future for it. Well, It's my legacy, so I can't imagine shutting it down, but it will no longer be what it was. Now I will use it to write in-depth analyses on topics of interest and expertise. So, here's the 1st. A legal analysis of the CVM
A very very important investigation by the European Court of Auditors. It has been really absurd that the Commission hasn't triggered neither the rule of law conditionality nor has blocked recovery funds for Bulgaria and Romania. It is applying the rule of law framework only selectively, it seems. Looking forward to see the outcome of the investigation

Why does the Commission keep claiming the CVM is closed, since there is a negative opinion on its proposal to close it by the European Parliament and the Council is unable yet to hammer a position. Legally speaking, the CVM is still good law?
Zooming out to the more general rule of law situation in the EU, the Commission's poor enforcement record becomes even more visible. This has resulted in MS becoming more active in using tools at their disposal to enforce EU law. The Dutch Parliament (Tweede Kamer) resolution, urging the Dutch government to ensure BG & ROM are indeed ready is a good case in point. It shows a diminishing trust in the Com as an objective arbiter, whose assessment can be trusted
In addition, yesterday, Commissioner Yohansson said both BG & ROM made progress under the #CVM. This statement raises the question how does she know since the Commission has observed the rule of law in #Bulgaria through the rule of law mechanism, not the CVM. Btw, the issue of organised crime is not problematic only for the Netherlands but also for Sweden. It is covered by benchmark No. 6 of the CVM for Bulgaria. To be continued
The Commission recommended in 2019 closing the #CVM for #Bulgaria but, even though it has to wait for the Council and the EP to give their answer, the Commission stopped monitoring #Bulgaria & significantly reduced reporting on #Romania. EP gave a negative opinion, while there is no agreement in the Council yet. Moreover, a few MS called on the Commission to continue working on the CVM. Now the Commission is trying to convince these countries that BG & ROM are ready. To be continued
There is a big problem with #Schengen enlargement and the potential veto by a few MS, the Netherlands included, is the least of them. The biggest problem is enforcement by the Commission, especially under the #CVM for #Bulgaria & #Romania, but in other areas as well. Even though it can be argued that the CVM cannot be a pre-condition for Schengen accession, it was raised as an issue in the Council. However, the Commission created a legal vacuum by not implementing it. To be continued
The fact that the Commission hasn't consulted with Hungarian NGOs, especially those working in the area of fight against corruption, is particularly concerning. It's been a long-standing practice in preparing enlargement reports but also #CVM reports to consult with civil society groups on the ground. This adds significant concern to VDL Commission's practices regarding safeguarding the rule of law
