Good news that Commission will cut EU funding to Hungary, but it must be substantial and based on all rule of law concerns, including the lack of independent judiciary. And please don’t leave the Polish citizens behind and trigger the conditionality mechanism for Poland as well.
RT @JHahnEU: Today the @EU_Commission has issued its first notification under the general conditionality regulation.

Commission proposes to strengthen the rights and mobility of migrants permanently living in EU. Vital for their integration and the internal market. Commission also encourages Member States to step up labour migration; the only sensible way forward.

@JHahnEU @EU_Commission Good news, but please make sure the cuts will be meaningful, and not only based on corruption but also the lack of independent judiciary. And don’t forget about Poland. The EU cannot afford to apply double standards.

CJEU judges that Austria’s internal border controls (6,5 years now!) violate the Schengen rules and free movement rights, and calls upon Commission to act upon breaches.

Croatian President Milanović suggests that his government will veto Finland's NATO accession until BiH's electoral law is reformed. This is an unacceptable form of blackmail, playing games with European security. https://tinyurl.com/3ry6s9ee

By rejecting Jansa and Le Pen, voters in France and Slovenia call for democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights. EU Commission and Council, pick up this message. Stop and reverse the autocracy in Hungary and Poland. Their citizens can’t do that on their own anymore.

Congratulations Freedom Movement and all citizens of Slovenia!! You have send the powerful message that an open, real democratic government respecting the rule of law is the only way forward. And that also means that Putin has lost its support from Slovenia.

Very important decision by the UK government, yet we all know that the only way to truly tackle Dodik is through EU sanctions. Considering the Hungarian veto, Member States should act now and form a coalition of the willing to impose joint bilateral sanctions.

'How is it possible that the Commission accepts such blatant breaches of the right to life and protection? When will you act? Take these countries to the Court of Justice, make border funding conditional, speak out and demand respect for human rights!'

Accepting pushbacks means giving up on European values. EU Commission must enforce respect for human rights at the border, Frontex must stop assisting pushbacks, all Member States must take responsibility.
RT @CommissionerHR: The scale and normalisation of #pushbacks and #humanrights violations at Europe’s borders requires urgent and concerted action by @coe governments and parliamentarians.

As expected, @Frontex is not granting access to the controversial #OLAF report. Instead, it’s hiding behind legal terms.
This is unacceptable. Frontex is an EU agency and needs to be democratically held accountable.
We want the Management Board to clarify in LIBE committee.
