According to reports, due to the Polish authorities’ failure to comply with the European Court’s decision in July and immediately suspend the activities of the disciplinary court, the European Commission has requested a fine for Warsaw last month.
The fine will be enforced from the day the order is notified to Poland until the day when Poland enforces the European Court of Justice’s decision in July.
The report pointed out that the latest fines may deepen the serious stalemate caused by judicial independence and priority issues of EU law.
Some people worry that this will put Poland's membership in the EU into question.
For a period of time, Poland has not only implemented judicial and media reforms that run counter to the ideals of the European Union. Recently, the Polish Supreme Court has also announced a ruling stating that Polish law is superior to EU law.
In response to the dispute between Poland and the European Union, Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki said at the EU leaders summit in Brussels last week that Poland is “ready for dialogue” but will not “act under the pressure of extortion”.
Leaders of several EU member states pointed out at the summit that Brussels should not allocate the 36 billion euros that Poland urgently needs for relief from the new crown epidemic while the problem has not been resolved.
