| Résumé : | Against the doubts about the role of the Union as regards the protection of the rule of law, one should understand that this value has been essential for European integration, since its inception, and that the Union should be able to protect it with effective means, to preserve its own integrity as a Union based on the rule of law. The understanding of Article 7 TEU as the exclusive procedure for the protection of fun-damental Union values is incorrect. The Union can protect its budget through legislative measures against the impact or risks of breaches of the rule of law. At the same time, the crisis of the Community method and the intergovernmental tendencies of the Union remain in tension with the possibility of effective action in this field. |
