(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, FEB 20 - Poland is to present an action
plan on Tuesday to end European Union action against Warsaw over
controversial judicial reforms introduced by its previous
nationalist government. The nationalist Law and Justice party
(PiS)government was accused of undermining the independence of
judges. And the EU blocked tens of billions of euros of funds
earmarked for Poland as part of a post-Covid recovery plan.
Polish Justice Minister Adam Bodnar will present a roadmap to
end the sanctions to European affairs ministers at a meeting in
Brussels and to EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders. After
the fraught relations, the EU Commission in January welcomed the
new pro-European government's efforts to restore the rule of law
which it said could allow the release of money. The commission
activated Article 7 of the EU treaty against Poland in December
2017. This is a last resort procedure used in case of threats to
the rule of law. (ANSA-AFP).
