Abstract

Backsliding on the rule of law and control of corruption in several EU countries is a threat to EU cohesion. It not only undermines solidarity between EU member states, but also puts a brake on investment and economic growth. Such developments reinforce the centrifugal forces of popular dissent with the EU. To counter these disintegrating forces, the EU member states need to engage in new measures to counter negative developments in governance. One such measure would be to give individuals the right of appeal in European courts. However, any move towards better governance in the EU would require treaty changes, as the existing tools (Article 7, in particular) are not effective.
