The EU’s foundational values democracy, human rights and rule of law are shared by the Member States and rooted in their constitutional traditions. Constitutional pluralism recognises the legitimacy of parallel legal systems. Pluralism however cannot provide answers when it comes to the design and enforcement of foundational values, which require homogeneous acceptance throughout the Union. Deficiencies affect the entire Union legal order. The argument of national identity in Art. 4(2) TEU must not be construed as a means to undermine the application of the law, but is an EU-law internal counterbalancing instrument. This is of relevance because, when addressing systemic deficiencies, the enforcement under Art. 7 TEU may interfere with effectively internal matters of Member States. In order to protect common values the EU has to avail itself of safeguarding competences under Union law, even in areas outside of application of EU law stricto sensu (the acquis). Using the example of the rule of law, it can be demonstrated that value protection is a predominantly political task that calls for political solutions together with effective rule of law dialogues, and needs EU institutions to act as facilitators and guardians of the treaties by making use of the enforcement instruments under Art. 7 TEU and Art. 258 TFEU. In parallel, a culture of values could be fostered by an evidence-based monitoring within a new instrument of “CVM for all” (Cooperation and Verification Mechanism).

作为政治努力加强欧盟价值观:在持续挑战法治时期的宪法多元化和价值观同质化

欧盟的基本价值观民主,人权和法治由成员国共享,并植根于其宪法传统。宪法多元化承认平行法律制度的合法性。但是,在基础价值的设计和实施方面,多元主义无法提供答案,而基础价值需要整个联盟得到同等的接受。缺陷会影响整个联盟的法律秩序。关于民族认同的争论在艺术。4(2)TEU不得被解释为破坏法律适用的手段,而是欧盟法律内部的平衡手段。这是相关的,因为在解决系统性缺陷时,根据 7 TEU可能会有效干扰会员国的内部事务。为了保护共同的价值观欧盟有利用在联盟的法律保障能力的本身,即使是在欧盟法律的应用以外的地区严格意义上(在acquis)。以法治为例,可以证明,价值保护是一项主要的政治任务,需要政治解决方案以及有效的法治对话,并需要欧盟机构通过利用这些手段来充当条约的促进者和保护者。条款下的执法手段 7 TEU和Art。258 TFEU。同时,在新的“全民CVM”工具(合作与验证机制)中,通过基于证据的监控,可以培养一种价值观文化。
