Roberta Metsola, EP President gives a speech at the symposium The Quest for the Rule of Law, organised by the AFCO Committee. The event focuses on how the rule of law forms the foundation of the European Union. Although EU treaties affirm principles such as democracy, human rights and judicial independence, the meaning and application of the rule of law still vary widely among Member States due to different legal cultures, constitutional structures and approaches to fundamental rights. These differences can weaken the EU’s integrative power and challenge the idea of "unity in diversity.” While recent EU instruments, such as the annual Rule of Law Report and the 2021 conditionality mechanism, address certain issues, broader conceptual debates remain limited. The symposium aims to explore which mechanisms and strategies could help overcome legal-cultural differences and support the development of a more shared understanding of the rule of law across Europe.

How is the European Commission ddressing the concerns of Europeans? How effectively is it addressing the issues that matter to Europeans, like the rising cost of living, wars, tariffs, and the housing crisis? 

On September 10, Members of the European Parliament questioned Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the first State of the Union debate since 2024’s European elections.  
 
They evaluated the Commission’s work so far, exchanging views about the EU’s future and how to deal with major challenges: on security and defence, the economy and cost of living , climate change, migration, democracy and much more. The debate turned to the next EU long-term budget - and how it must adapt to new realities.
