The article proves a long-lasting legacy of Martin Krygier’s work on the rule of law. Taking the European Union as a case study, and specifically—the recent infringement action concerning the judicial independence in Poland, the article addresses the point (teleos) of the rule of law, the conditions the institutions need to fulfill to make this point, and institutional measures that help to meet these conditions in the EU as a whole and its Member States. It argues that the rule of law can be achieved via various paths, but there is general agreement on when its basic elements such as the guarantees against arbitrary removal of judges are missing. Therefore, it concludes, the EU does not need to determine the anatomy of national institutions, but it needs to remain vigilant against such modifications that put at risk the effectiveness of EU law, and the judicial protection of individual rights in particular.

欧盟侵权程序中的原则和法治剖析

这篇文章证明了马丁·克雷吉尔（Martin Krygier）在法治方面的长期努力。本文以欧洲联盟为案例研究，尤其是最近关于波兰司法独立的侵权诉讼，本文解决了这一问题（telos），法治，为达到这一点而需要满足的条件，以及有助于在整个欧盟及其成员国中满足这些条件的体制措施。它认为可以通过多种途径来实现法治，但是对于何时缺少诸如防止任意罢免法官的保证等基本要素达成了普遍共识。因此，结论是，欧盟无需确定国家机构的结构，但需要保持警惕，以免使欧盟法律的有效性，尤其是个人权利的司法保护面临风险的此类修改。
