Should either country fail to meet these benchmarks, the EC could apply a specific safeguard clause that would suspend judicial co-operation and the obligation of the current EU member states to recognise the court rulings issued in that particular country.
Ako bilo koja od dve zemlje ne ostvari te standarde, EK bi mogla da primeni specifičnu zaštitnu klauzulu kojom bi se suspendovala pravosudna saradnja i obaveza sadašnjih zemalja članica EU da priznaju sudske odluke donete u toj zemlji.
