Poland risks losing EU recovery money in rule-of-law clash
BRUSSELS, 16 July. - (ANA) - The European Commission has said it might withhold money from Poland's Covid recovery plan due to concerns on the lack of rule of law.
"We are analysing the [Polish] decision also in that light," an EU spokesman said Thursday, referring to Poland's decision to ignore an EU court ruling, which said it must suspend a politicised judicial disciplinary chamber.
The commission also "wouldn't hesitate" to launch legal action, it added. - (ANA) -
