Facts4EU report that the EU is initiating a new power-grab over its constituent parts.
"Parliament negotiators reached a provisional agreement with the Council presidency on 05 November on legislation establishing a mechanism that would allow the suspension of budget payments to a member state violating what the EU calls its “rule of law”"
So that's all right then - the EU Parliament has negotiated the deal with the Commission so it's all 4-square and ready to roll complete with popular approval!
“Crucially, MEPs succeeded in keeping a strong preventive aspect for the mechanism: not only can it be triggered when a breach is shown to directly affect the budget, but also when there is a serious risk that it may do so, thus ensuring that the mechanism prevents possible situations where EU funds could finance actions that are in conflict with EU values”
All European nationals can now sleep more soundly knowing that the EU has all the other countries under proper control.
What's not to like?
