It seems a good instance to develop the Framework as an EU mechanism to protect European constitutional values in a European legal space which is rife with constitutional crises, but short of instruments to address them. Its pertinence appears even more clearly in comparison to the Council’s (in)activity under its own rule-of-law mechanism, hastily put forward after the Commission’s Framework. The activation of the Framework has shown its potential to mobilize European public opinion and orient public discourses to the current condition of EU values KW - Art. 2 EU KW - Art. 7 EU KW - Rule of Law Y1 - 2016 UR - http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/54244 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hebis:30:3-542444 N1 - LICENSED UNDER CC BY NC ND IS - 2016/1/24 SP - 1 EP - 5 PB - Verfassungsblog.de CY - Berlin ER -
