I'd love to be able to comment on this but, of course, The Telegraph is behind a paywall, so I have no idea what it's about.

Quote "The EU effectively threatened to sue itself on Thursday as MEPs said they would take the European Commission to court unless it takes punitive action against the bloc’s authoritarian leaders.

The European Parliament attacked the commission for not triggering new clauses that tie huge amounts of EU cash to respect for the rule of law.

It passed a resolution, aimed at the illiberal governments of EU members Poland and Hungary, with a large majority of 506 with 150 against and 28 abstentions.

It is the first step towards taking the EU executive to the European Court of Justice in what would be just the third time and exposed deep divisions in the bloc over how to handle the autocratic strongmen.

“Playtime is over. We expect you to apply the rule of law conditionality without delay, or see you in court,” said Sophie in t’ Veldt, a Dutch liberal MEP.

“We, as the Parliament, will not allow the Commission to sit idly by as far-right populist governments rip apart the rule of law in Europe," said Terry Reintke, a German Green".
