TRICK OR TREAT: LINKING EU FUNDS TO RULE OF LAW

Abstract

Along with the imposition of financial sanctions in the infringement procedure for failing to fulfil the obligations assumed by the Member States, and whereas in some cases these sanctions are not a sufficiently deterrent factor to determine a certain Member States to comply, it is increasingly more likely creating a mechanism to strengthen the link between EU funding and the rule of law, namely, suspending, reducing or restricting access to EU funds. In this way, respecting the rule of law becomes an essential prerequisite for a sound financial management at Union level.
