Such a decision can be made in connection with an unbalanced judicial reform. As explained on Wednesday, July 19, at the briefing, the first vice-president of the EC Franz Timmermans, Polish bills on judicial reform pose a threat to the rule of law.

In his opinion, the government will "fully" monitor the judicial system and stressed that the EC is close to launching the procedure in accordance with the seventh article of the Treaty establishing the European Union.

It states that EU members and its bodies can "state the existence of a clear threat of a serious violation" by one of the members of the Union of EU principles that are common to all member states. Before accusing an EU member of the violation, the European Council will send recommendations to the potential "offender".

At the same time, first the EU members must confirm that the laws adopted in Poland violate the rule of law and if the majority of European countries confirm violations, they will send their recommendations on remedying the situation. And only in the event that Warsaw does not react to this in any way, sanctions will be imposed against it, "Timmermans explained..

Recall, the ruling party in Yaroslav Kaczynski's Law "Justice and Justice" initiated judicial reform, trying to amend three laws - the Supreme Court, the National Judicial Council and the Court of General Jurisdiction. According to the political force, the reform modernizes the judiciary. The opposition and the majority of the judiciary are convinced that such changes will limit the independence of the courts.

As reported URA-Inform, on Sunday, July 16, in a number of Polish cities there were protests against judicial reform.
