Summary

Speaker: Professor Carlos Moreiro González, University Carlos III, Madrid Biography: Professor Carlos Moreiro González is Chair in International Law at the University Carlos III in Madrid and Jean Monnet Chair in EU Law. Abstract: This talk will focus on some paradoxical legal issues that entail the implementation of Articles 2 and 7 of the TEU. Both provisions lack, in my view, the normative standards which are necessary to preserve the Rule of Law and the Democratic Principle in the EU. In addition, the current context of the international crisis created by the Criminal Attack of the Russian Federation to Ukraine has given a unique role to the Eastern European States which may contribute to dilute the rulings of the CJEU regarding some breaches of the Rule of Law by both the Polish and the Hungarian Government.
