Abstract
This chapter focuses on the third ideal type of ToN—active ToN. By integrating the logic of altruistic and egocentric ToN, active ToN theorizes enforcement forbearance simultaneously as a ‘painkiller’ to suppress the deficiencies of the EU legal order and a ‘catalyst’ to advance the Commission’s policy agenda. This chapter traces the Commission’s benevolent enforcement of the Italian government’s degrading asylum practices and finds that the Commission’s forbearance in the present case was a viable exit route for the Italian government overburdened by the imbalanced Common European Asylum System (CEAS). Additionally, it is a political gesture of goodwill to secure Rome’s critical support for the Commission’s legislative plan to overhaul CEAS. The stalled legislative process in the following years also indicates that the function of ToN as a legislative catalyst is not guaranteed success.
