Judgment_paragraph 69 · European Commission v Republic of Poland (C-204/21)

69For its part, Article 19 TEU gives concrete expression to the value of the rule of law stated in Article 2 TEU (judgment of 27 February 2018, Associação Sindical dos Juízes Portugueses, C‑64/16, EU:C:2018:117, paragraph 32). As regards, more specifically, the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU, it should be recalled that, as that provision provides, it is for the Member States to establish a system of legal remedies and procedures ensuring for individuals compliance with their right to effective judicial protection in the fields covered by EU law. The principle of the effective judicial protection of individuals’ rights under EU law, thus referred to in that provision, is a general principle of EU law stemming from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States, which has been enshrined in Articles 6 and 13 ECHR and which is now reaffirmed by Article 47 of the Charter (judgment of 15 July 2021, Commission v Poland (Disciplinary regime for judges), C‑791/19, EU:C:2021:596, paragraph 52 and the case-law cited).
