The Schengen evaluation mechanism: MEPs debate

MEPs assess the application of asylum rules in the EU and the allegations of breaches of the right to asylum and non-refoulement.

Violations of right to seek asylum and non-refoulement in the EU Member States: MEPs debate

MEPs quiz the Council and the Commission about their response so far to the democratic backslide in Hungary and Poland. However, despite the deterioration of the situation in both countries over the last few years, the Council has avoided holding a vote to determine whether there is “a clear risk of a serious breach” of the EU’s common values, the next step in the procedure set out in Article 7. MEPs urge the French Presidency of the Council to move forward, and quiz the Commission on other measures to ensure rule of law is respected.
