title = "Upholding Core Union Values: The European Parliament's Engagement with the Rule of Law Reports during the Ninth Legislative Term",
abstract = "This policy study analyses how the European Parliament (EP) has engaged with the European Commission{\textquoteright}s Rule of Law Reports (RoLRs) during the ninth legislative term (2019-2024) as well as what this engagement reveals about the EP{\textquoteright}s understanding of the rule of law and its capacity to strengthen EU-level democratic safeguards. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of parliamentary resolutions, debates and voting patterns, the policy study examines whether the EP approaches the rule of law primarily as a procedural-legal standard or as a broader normative principle encompassing fundamental rights, equality and democratic inclusion.",
