The Green Pact and Rule of Law in the EU
Abstract
The governments of 13 EU member states have signed a letter calling for a „green“ way out of the COVID-19 crisis (although the Czech government has asked the EU to „forget“ about its Green Pact). Interesting as this initiative may be, the EU must ensure that it does not become an instrument that undermines the fight for the rule of law in the EU. The history advises us to be vigilant because EU funds may become a useful instrument in hands of illiberal governments.
