EU threatens Poland over judicial reforms

THE EUROPEAN Union threatened Poland with disciplinary measures yesterday saying planned judicial reforms threaten the rule of law.

It accused Warsaw’s conservative government of introducing a raft of laws over the past two years that allow it to “interfere significantly” in the judiciary.

The article 7 measures could lead to Poland being suspended from voting at EU summits but Hungary said it would block the move, which needs the agreement of all member states.
