This paper offers an overview of the European Parliament's main powers, demonstrating how they ...

In July 2023, the Commission adopted its fourth annual rule of law report, covering judicial independence, the anti-corruption framework, media freedom and checks and balances in all Member States. As in previous years, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) has tabled a motion for a resolution on the report, highlighting progress and identifying areas for possible further improvement.

On 29 November 2023, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reached a compromise on the proposed directive to protect journalists and human rights activists from abusive cross- border civil proceedings, known as strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs). The directive's aim is to enable judges to identify SLAPPs and order their early dismissal, and thus spare the journalists or activists targeted by such proceedings the need to defend the manifestly unfounded claim brought ...

On 23 November 2023, the European Parliament approved the compromise reached with the Council in July 2023 on the European Commission proposal for a horizontal regulation on digitalisation of judicial cooperation and access to justice, intended to apply to both civil and criminal cross-border proceedings within the EU. The regulation, proposed back in December 2021, will supplement horizontally, rather than replace, existing rules on the digital delivery of documents, digital hearings and other uses ...

On 24 January 2024, the Committee on Legal Affairs approved the compromise text of a proposal to amend the Statute of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). The reform will transfer preliminary reference cases (Article 267 of the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union – TFEU) from the Court of Justice (CJ) to the General Court (GC) in five distinct areas (VAT; excise duties; the Customs Code and tariff; passengers' rights to compensation and assistance; and the greenhouse gas emissions allowance ...

Im Dezember 2021 legte die Kommission einen Vorschlag für eine Verordnung über die Digitalisierung der grenzüberschreitenden justiziellen Zusammenarbeit vor, die sowohl für Zivil- als auch für Strafsachen gilt.

In recent years, European Court of Justice (ECJ) case law has been playing an increasingly pivotal role in the development of the emerging common minimum standards of judicial independence, binding on the EU Member States as a matter of Union law. The ECJ has based its case law primarily on Article 19 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), which requires Member States to provide for effective judicial protection in areas covered by EU law, on Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the ...

The practice of European Commission presidents to deliver, each year in September, an EU State of the Union address, during a plenary session of the European Parliament, dates back to 2010. The address takes stock of the achievements of the past year and presents priorities for the year ahead. It is an important tool when it comes to the Commission's ex-ante accountability vis-à-vis Parliament and is also aimed at rendering the definition of priorities at EU level more transparent and at communicating ...
