"The European Union puts a defiant Poland in the dock on Wednesday over changes to the state media and constitution, in a move which could expose Warsaw to punitive measures for breaching democratic standards.

The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, will hold a formal debate on an issue which has strained relations with the new right-wing government of one of the 28-nation bloc's largest members."
