The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Rule of Law: Turning the Crisis into Opportunity
The proposed policy paper aims to serve as a “Shadow Report” to the first Annual Rule of Law Report, which has been published recently by the European Commission. Namely, it shall provide a wide and diversified overview of rule of law circumventions in EU Member States, which shall allow for the drawing of conclusions as to how EU Member States score in complying with the democratic values of the EU, as well as for the proposal of the reforms that need to be enacted, at the level of EU policy and legislation, so as to ensure the effectiveness of relevant national oversight and transparency state authorities and non-state actors, despite the different contexts they may be facing from time to time, in order for the EU democratic standards to be upheld under any circumstances
