The Impact of the 2014 European Elections on the EU Policies on Justice, Fundamental Rights and the Rule of Law

Summary/Abstract: The result of the European Parliament elections means that there will be an overall centre-right majority, which will focus more on security aspects and combating crime and subsidiarity concerns. The impact will be felt on the legislative package on data protection, on criminal law cooperation and on gender equality issues, but less on civil justice cooperation. Fundamental rights and rule of law will continue to be strongly defended by Parliament, but its reaction to eventual crises might be less virulent than in the past
