Very happy to announce the publication of the European Court of Auditors new Special Report 03/2024 on the rule of law in the EU. We conclude that the introduction of the Rule of law Conditionality Regulation, which entered into force in January 2022, marks an improvement in order to protect the EU’s financial interests against breaches of the principles of rule of law, and the measures taken for one country so far were in line with the Regulation. However, we also identified aspects of the Regulation which are difficult to apply and identified a number of risks that could significantly undermine the effectiveness of measures taken.
