Vox Pop: Ljiljana from Sweden

Romania and Bulgaria both joined the European Union in 2007, despite not being fully compliant with Brussels-imposed standards. More than a decade later, this has only partly changed, especially with respect to the rule of law.

The 17th of all EU-r rights: property and how the Charter contributes

Covid-19 has not only served as an umpteenth demonstration of many of the challenges and difficulties of power-sharing in Belgium, it has also highlighted the increasingly problematic lack of a solid debate on the Belgian federation. With a seventh state reform in the pipeline and with all involved endorsing the need for solid reforms, it is time to break the silence and embark on a fundamental debate on power-sharing in Belgium – and its future.

Breaking the silence: the future of power-sharing in Belgium

South Tyrol, an Autonomous province located in the north of Italy, is among [Europe](https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/regional-innovation-monitor/base-profile/bolzano)’s wealthiest regions, and the richest in Italy. 
Bosnia Herzegovina, a former Yugoslav republic, protagonist of one of the most disastrous wars of the modern era, is currently ranked among the world’s ‘hybrid regimes’ and captured-states.

The [independence of the judiciary and the degree of media freedom](https://beta.eurac.edu/en/blogs/eureka/the-backsliding-of-the-rule-of-law-in-europe-diving-into-a-paradox) are the aspects of rule of law which most affect citizens’ daily lives. Furthermore, their analysis can help us monitor the progress of democracies.

Not a Europe for Old Fuels: a green proposal for the “Next Generation EU” project

“White smoke”. “We have a deal”. “A deal for Europe”. These were the recurring phrases in my Twitter news feed on 10 November. Just a couple of hours of not checking my Twitter and I thought I had missed out a historic event. Brussels-based politicians, political groups and institutions were popping the champagne after the [deal](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2020/11/10/next-multiannual-financial-framework-and-recovery-package-council-presidency-reaches-political-agreement-with-the-european-parliament/) between the European Parliament and the Council on the next EU long-term budget. But what does this mean exactly? Do we have a new budget for the period 2021-2027? Is the money of the recovery fund ready to be distributed? The answer is no. Indeed, despite this agreement, nothing is set, yet. Moreover, just six says after the deal, that enthusiasm disappeared. Why? Here is a succinct overview of the latest developments and why one should never claim victory too early!

In order to understand why we have defined the [rule of law as a paradox](https://https://beta.eurac.edu/en/blogs/eureka/the-backsliding-of-the-rule-of-law-in-europe-diving-into-a-paradox), it is necessary to start from the meaning that this principle assumes in European Union law and to analyse the tools with which the Union should deal with the crisis of the rule of law.

The rule of law in the European Union and the prudence of its procedures

The concept of rule of law frequently makes its appearance in the EU political scene: in many institutional documents, Treaties, political discourse and even in newspapers. Nonetheless, most of the time it remains obscure and undefined, which makes it difficult for people to understand. Thus, the rule of law tends to only be associated with the EU’s political jargon and not to something relatable to European citizens’ everyday lives.
