Judgment_paragraph 127 · Republic of Poland v European Parliament and Council of the European Union (C-157/21)

127Furthermore, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 7(2) of the contested regulation, the Commission is to propose to the Council that the adopted measures be lifted where the conditions laid down in Article 4 of that regulation are no longer fulfilled and, therefore, in particular where the sound financial management of the Union budget or the protection of the financial interests of the Union is no longer affected or at serious risk of being affected, with the result that, as Advocate General Campos Sánchez-Bordona observed in point 185 of his Opinion in Hungary v Parliament and Council (C‑156/21, EU:C:2021:974), those measures must be lifted where the impact on the implementation of the budget ceases, even though the breaches of the principles of the rule of law found may persist.
