Reacting to the latest Commission\u2019s annual rule of law report, MEPs are deeply concerned that democracy, the rule of law, and fundamental rights across the EU are eroding, in a draft report adopted with 42 votes in favour, ten against, two abstentions. They also criticise specific countries where major problems are identified.<\/p>\n<p>Key issues mentioned in the text include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>justice and prosecutorial systems, including reforms in Slovakia, and the amnesty law in Spain;<\/li>\n<li>corruption and the major obstacles whistleblowers face;<\/li>\n<li>the situation in Malta regarding the \u201cgolden passport\u201d scheme and a culture of impunity identified by the public inquiry into the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia;<\/li>\n<li>the state of independent authorities, including recent developments in Greece on the use of spyware;<\/li>\n<li>media pluralism and freedom, including the planned restructuring of the Radio and Television of Slovakia; and<\/li>\n<li>the protection of journalists from threats, SLAPPs, and spyware, most notably in Malta, Slovakia, and Greece, as well as issues in France following the recent detention of a reporter and the illegal wiretapping of a Dutch journalist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MEPs also want all member states to regulate lobbying, and ask for the discriminatory practices and the concentration of business in the hands of oligarchs in Hungary to be addressed.\u00a0MEPs highlight the Slovakian government\u2019s plans to restrict the work of NGOs and stigmatise organisations receiving foreign funding. They take stock of excessive use of force by police, e.g. the unregulated use of \u201cless lethal weapons\u201d, mass detentions in France, and the disproportionate use of force against demonstrators as well as the killings of three young Roma in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>In the adopted text, MEPs deplore the lack of adequate rules in some countries for the recognition of same-sex partnerships and legal gender, the lack of progress on the banning of \u2018conversion practices\u2019, female and intersex genital mutilation and forced sterilisation, as well as inaction on EU rules to tackle violence against women and girls.\u00a0The draft report also deplores the deaths of refugees and migrants at sea, often victims of human trafficking, and MEPs remind member states of their obligations under international law to help people in distress<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/en\/press-room\/20240122IPR17019\/meps-warn-that-european-values-are-being-eroded-across-the-eu\">European Parliament<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/meps-warn-that-european-values-are-being-eroded-across-the-eu\/\">MEPs warn that European values are being eroded across the EU<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,1347,2515,3753],"class_list":["post-124825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-european","tag-meps","tag-values"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124825\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
