14 b. Notes with deep concern the overall shrinking of space for civil society in some Member States, which represents a serious threat to the rule of law, democracy, fundamental rights and other EU values; calls on the Commission to monitor the challenges and attacks faced by civil society as part of its annual rule of law assessment and reporting work and to include conclusions and targeted recommendations in its report; to this regard, reiterates its call for a separate chapter to be dedicated to the condition of civil society in Member States;
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 14 c (new)
Paragraph 14 c (new)
14 c. Emphasises that the current legal framework at Union and national level is insufficient to establish and support a strong pan-European civil society, the existence of which is necessary for democracy; thus, believes that a statute for EU cross-border associations and not- for-profit organisations will provide an extra layer of protection to CSOs faced with undue hurdles to their establishment and operations1a; _________________ 1a See to this regard the EP resolution of 17 February 2022 with recommendations to the Commission on a statute for European cross-border associations and non-profit organisations (P9_TA(2022)0044).
