The rule of law creates peace and prosperity – keeping the civil and economic perspective in focus
Strasbourg (OTS) – “The rule of law is the promise of the European Union internally and externally,” emphasizes Lukas Mandl, Austrian MEP and chief negotiator of the European People’s Party group on the rule of law report, which was adopted yesterday, Wednesday, in the plenary session of the European Parliament with a large majority became.
“Citizens of the Union and the whole world must always be able to rely on the fact that the law applies and justice is administered in the EU,” Mandl continues. However, this is not entirely the case in all member states. That is why we have included a chapter on the economic dimension in the rule of law report for the first time. Because if companies from member states do not find fairness and legal certainty in other member states, then the internal market is at risk, and with it the foundations of our peaceful, free Europe. This must be taken very seriously. The language in the report on the rule of law is correspondingly clear and sharp.” (Ending)
