EU-POLAND: Commission adopts Polish rule of law report
01 June 2016
"The European Commission has adopted an opinion concerning the rule of law in Poland, the latest step in a procedure launched in January over constitutional reforms. The text was endorsed by the college of commissioners during their weekly meeting on Wednesday (1 June), but has not been made public.
"Despite our best efforts, it has not been possible to find solutions to the issues at stake," said commission vice president Frans Timmermans, who is leading negotiations with the Polish government. ...
Poland’s government must reply to the commission’s concerns within ”reasonable time”. If they do not, or if they fail to answer the questions raised, the commission can issue recommendations - marking the second of three steps in the rule of law procedure."
