"The constitution of any country has to reflect and be in accordance with European values: basic European values of democracy, the rule of law, human dignity and respect for fundamental rights. This is a matter that should not even have to be discussed. I have not yet seen a constitution of a European Union Member State which is against those values, but if, theoretically, that were to happen then we would have to act.
As you know, Mr Verhofstadt, we have a very good record on that matter. We recently acted on several very sensitive issues regarding, for instance, the Hungarian media law. The Hungarian Government said at the beginning that, if the Commission identified any kind of incompatibility, it would amend the law, and it has done so.
In other Member States where there have been issues of non-discrimination, the Commission has also taken a very strong stance. From that point of view you can be sure that the Commission will follow these matters very closely."@en1
