• Resumen

  • During the last decade, a deterioration of the respect for the EU’s common values occurred. On the EU level, various procedures and instruments have been created and applied to cope with the crisis. The latest instrument, Regulation 2020/2092, was designed to establish a rule of law conditionality mechanism but has turned out as a budget conditionality mechanism. This Article examines the evolution and nature of the conditionality mechanism in said Regulation and shows why rule of law conditionality can currently rather be located in the financial instruments breathing life into the EU Green Deal than in the so-called rule of law conditionality Regulation.
