European Parliament · 6 October 2020

Establishment of an EU Mechanism on Democracy, the Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights

Amendment

Rejected

This was a vote on one amendment to the text, not on the text as a whole.

142 in favour · 540 against · 13 abstained. 695 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Stresses that the rule of law is intrinsically linked to respect for democracy and for fundamental rights and that therefore the three principles must be jointly monitored
• Emphasises that the European Union should fulfil its role of examining its institutions to see whether their functioning is in compliance with the principle of democracy and the rule of law

Quoted from A9-0170/2020, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
