While vaguely referring to “respect for human rights,” the #MoU does not specify how the Commission intends to ensure compliance with fundamental rights. Concerns over the #agreement led the European Ombudsman—a body of the EU that investigates instances of maladministration by EU institutions—to ask the EU’s executive arm whether it had conducted a human rights impact assessment before its conclusion, as well as if it intended to monitor its implementation, and if it envisaged the suspension of funding if human rights were not respected.
