proposals: The proposals will come into force if backed by EU member states and could lead to a fierce battle between national governments when they discuss the bloc's 1tn post-Brexit budget later this year, according to The Guardian. Respecting the rule of law is a fundamental prerequisite for democracy, stability, prosperity and mutual trust, said Petri Sarvamaa, a Finnish centre-right MEP, who co-authored the parliament's proposals. MEPs voted 397 to 158 for a draft law to freeze EU cash if a government was found to be eroding democratic values. Without the rule of law, the European Union loses its credibility in the eyes of the citizens and in the eyes of the world. We never know in which member state the rule of law will be questioned next. He added Taxpayers' money has to be respected and spent according to the same rules and principles in all member states.
