Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 a (new)
1a. The rule of law, as enshrined in Article 2 TEU, is the backbone of European democracy and is one of the fundamental values of the European Union stemming from the common constitutional traditions of all Member States. Full respect and promotion of the rule of law and democracy is the basic condition for building citizens' trust in the Union. Respect for the rule of law within the Union is also a prerequisite for the protection of fundamental rights, as well as for upholding all rights and obligations deriving from the Treaties.

Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 b (new)
(1b) The way in which the rule of law is implemented in the Member States plays a key role in ensuring mutual trust among Member States and in their legal systems. Unfortunately, in certain Member States, infringements of the values and principles of the Treaties are being compounded by serious breaches of agreements adopted by the Union institutions and fresh obstacles in the full implementation of Community law. Actions promoting respect for fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law at local, regional, national and transnational level should therefore be supported by the Union.

Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Freedom of expression and information is enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Community. Free access to information, evaluation of media framework conditions and the responsible and safe use of information and communication networks are directly linked to free public opinion and are essential for guaranteeing a functional democracy. It is necessary for the public to acquire the media literacy skills necessary for critical thinking and discernment and the ability to analyse complex realities, recognise differences between opinions and facts and resist any form of incitement to hatred. To this end, the Union should promote the development of media literacy for all citizens, regardless of their age, through training, awareness raising, studies and other relevant activities.
