It was published as Annex II of a larger report, commissioned by the European Parliament, entitled Assessing the need and possibilities for the establishment of an EU Scoreboard on democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights The opinions expressed in this document are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily represent the official position of the European Parliament or CEPS. This paper was written at the request of the Impact Assessment Unit of the Directorate for Impact Assessment and European Added Value, within the Directorate General for Parliamentary Research Services (DG EPRS) of the General Secretariat of the European Parliament. The series encompasses policy-oriented and interdisciplinary academic studies and comment on the implications of Justice and Home Affairs policies inside Europe and elsewhere in the world.

This Research Paper assesses the need and possibilities for the establishment of an EU Scoreboard, as well as its related social, economic, legal and political 'costs and benefits'.

EU history proved that this 'Copenhagen dilemma' was far from theoretical. ![]() Whereas future Member States are vetted for their compliance with these values before they accede to the Union, no similar method exists to supervise adherence to these foundational principles after accession. The European Union is founded on a set of common principles of democracy, the rule of law, and fundamental rights, as enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on the European Union. ![]()
