Abstract

U Europskoj uniji se od 2010. godine u dvije države članice događaju retrogradni demokratski procesi. Cilj ovog rada je bio istražiti jesu li trenutni mehanizmi predviđeni osnivačkim ugovorima i acquisom Europske unije zadovoljavajući i adekvatni za sankcioniranje država članica koje očito i ozbiljno krše temeljne vrijednosti Europske unije i vladavinu prava. Od brojnih mehanizama koje je Europska unija razvila, naročito tijekom posljednjeg desetljeća, detaljnije su obrađeni mehanizam iz članka 7. Ugovora o Europskoj uniji i Uredba o općem režimu uvjetovanosti za zaštitu proračuna Unije, koja je u primjeni od 1. siječnja 2021. godine. Zaključak je ovog rada da je ova Uredba, za razliku od članka 7. UEU-a, učinkovit i efikasan mehanizam sankcioniranja država članica zbog očitog i ozbiljnog kršenja temeljnih vrijednosti Europske unije i vladavine prava i to prvenstveno zbog mogućnosti suspenzije isplate sredstava iz kohezijskih fondova Europske unije, a s ciljem zaštite temeljnih vrijednosti i vladavine prava u Europskoj uniji.

Abstract (english)

Since 2010, in two countries of the European union there are serious declines in the democratic processes. The aim of this paper was to research whether the existing mechanisms defined by the founding Treaties of the European union and the acquis are adequate for sanctioning of those Member states that obviously and seriously breach the founding values of the European union and the rule of law. Among many mechanisms that the European union has developed, especially during the last decade, here we had a more detailed look at the mechanisms of Article 7 of the Treaty on European union and Regulation on a general regime of conditionality for the protection of the Union budget, applied since 1 January 2021. In conclusion, unlike Article 7, this Regulation is efficient and effective mechanism of sanctioning those Member states that obviously and seriously breach the founding values of the European union and the rule of law, primarily because of the envisaged possibility of suspension of European union Cohesion funds to these Member states, with the aim of protecting the founding values and the rule of law in the European union.
