The Commission is fully committed to upholding democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights in the Member States and is monitoring developments at national level, including through the annual Rule of Law Reports[1].
The Commission, however, does not have a general power to examine how an individual case relating to the functioning of a national political party is addressed by a Member State. It is for national competent authorities and courts to ensure compliance with relevant national and EU law.
Under the EU Treaties, Member States also remain responsible for safeguarding their national security. Their intelligence services collect and analyse information on threats related to national security in accordance with national law.
