The governments provoked an impasse by blocking the European Union's budget and pandemic recovery package. They say a provision threatened sovereignty.

With their veto of the EU budget and pandemic recovery package, Poland and Hungary have brought the European Union to one of its worst impasses in years.

In turn, officials from those countries accuse the European Union of aiming to punish them politically because they do not conform to the liberal ideals espoused by the the EU.

This would only apply to violations of the rule of law that involve the misuse of EU funds — including irregular public tenders.

There have, in fact, been slight changes to the draft. The most important stipulates that the mechanism can be set in motion as soon as the serious risk of misuse of EU funds is identified; a previous version stipulated that the misuse must have occurred.

Officials from the countries have not, however, specified which provisions of the Lisbon Treaty the mechanism violates.

They also argue that the wording of the Rule of Law Mechanism is vague and unclear, which could ultimately make it a political tool to be used against disobedient member states.

The page draft of the Rule of Law Mechanism clearly defines when and under what circumstances it can be applied. It seems unlikely that the European Union would use the mechanism as a political weapon — in recent years, the bloc has been very defensive and cautious in disputes about the rule of law.

Morawiecki has said the term "rule of law" is "propaganda" that reminds him of the Communist era. However, barring another pandemic-inspired run on its products, I do not expect the company to generate more than low single-digit top-line growth.

Retrieved 13 December The Economist. Winchester Books. A History of Japan. London: Psychology Press published Retrieved 6 April Many Japanese are naturally prone to gambling; in the old Kyoto court the vice was rife, and in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries samurai would often stake their arms, armour, and horse trappings on a cast of the dice, even on the eve of a battle, and so have to go into action in incomplete panoplies, and sometimes with no armour at all.

In Tokugawa times the vice did not reach this extent among the samurai, but it became common in Yedo and continued to be so throughout the history of the city.
