Description The article describes and analyzes new EU framework to strengthen the rule of Law. This mechanism is compared to the other current infringement proceedings. Legal as well as political question are addressed. The problem is that the Commission proposal may cause a de facto shift in competences that have been transferred to the European Union. In addition to that, the Commission, as a political organ, shall not solve problems of judicial character. The mechanism also does not contribute to the legal certainty and prohibition of arbitrariness of the executive powers since it does not clarify existing rules, but rather extends them beyond the original intention of Member states.
