Hungary and Poland, which have repeatedly stated that they do not agree with the new rule of law mechanism, have blocked a necessary procedure for the adoption of the Community’s Multi-annual Budget and the European Economic Recovery Plan.
The German Presidency of the Council of the EU has just reached an agreement with the European Parliament on the EU budget for 2021-2027. But for them to enter into force, the draft multi-annual budget of € 1,074,300 million and the relaunch fund of € 750,000 million must be formally approved by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. The vote in the Council of the EU is unanimous, so only one Member State can block the adoption of the decision.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently warned, in a letter sent to European Union leaders, that he will block approval of the multi-year budget bill if the rule of law rule is introduced. “Although Hungary feels obliged to cooperate in the context of new developments, we may not guarantee the unanimity necessary for the formal approval of the draft budget decided in July,” Viktor Orban said in a letter. Viktor Orban considers that the mechanism of the rule of law contains “unclear definitions of infringements of the rules”, so that “political abuses can occur”.
The German Presidency of the Council of the European Union has reached an agreement with the negotiators of the European Parliament on a mechanism to condition access to Community funds on compliance with the rule of law, a system that could operate by qualified majority. The interim agreement was reached on the basis of the recommendations made at the July European Council summit and must be formally approved by the Council of the EU and the European Parliament. According to EU officials quoted by the German publication Der Spiegel, the European Commission will make official proposals to sanction a state that does not comply with the rule of law. The sanction decision will be made by the EU Council by qualified majority: the votes of 15 EU states, representing 65% of the EU population (a procedure also called the “double majority” rule).
