The paper explores Hungary and Poland’s compliance signals conveyed during the European rule of law enforcement process and the responses to these signals by the Court of Justice of the EU and the European Court of Human Rights as judicial organs and the European Commission and the Committee of Ministers as organs supervising compliance. After both states turned illiberal European institutions began condemning the condition of rule of law in both states. Yet, their endeavour—as evident from measures imposed upon Poland, but not Hungary—appears inconsistent. The paper ascribes this to states' differing expressions of commitment to comply with rule-of-law-related rulings as signalled during supervision. It argues that Hungary’s signalled conciliatory attitude compared to Poland’s overt defiance invites more deference from the European institutions and concludes that conveying conciliatory signals in the process of compliance may be used to influence the course and, ultimately, the success of rule of law enforcement.

欧洲法治案例中的信号传递：匈牙利和波兰案例研究

本文探讨了匈牙利和波兰在欧洲法治执行过程中传达的合规信号，以及作为司法机关的欧盟法院和欧洲人权法院以及欧盟委员会和部长委员会对这些信号的回应作为遵守情况的监督机构。在这两个国家变得不自由之后，欧洲机构开始谴责这两个国家的法治状况。然而，他们的努力——从对波兰而非匈牙利实施的措施中可以明显看出——似乎不一致。该文件将此归因于各国在监管过程中对遵守法治相关裁决的承诺的不同表达。它认为，与波兰的公然蔑视相比，匈牙利所表现出的和解态度引起了欧洲机构更多的尊重，并得出结论，在遵守过程中传达和解信号可能会被用来影响法治的进程，并最终影响执法的成功。
