Keywords:
EU, Framework to strengthen the Rule of Law, Annual Political Dialogue, Commission, Council of the EUAbstract
The article focused on protection of the Rule of Law in the EU is divided into three parts. The attention is paid to the concept of the Rule of Law, legal basis for possible EU activities and compliance of existing EU instruments with the Treaties. The goal of the first part is to confirm the hypothesis that the Rule of Law at EU level is an autonomous concept. The aim of the second part is to confirm that the Rule of Law as a value has its expression in substantive article(s) of the Treaties. The objective of the third part is to confirm legality of existing EU instruments.
