The European Commission has taken its infringement procedure against Poland over judicial independence one step further and asked the EU’s Court of Justice to impose daily fines on the country.
The Commission considers Poland has failed to abide by the Court’s interim measures issued on 14 July, which relate to a controversial chamber of the Polish Supreme Court that was established to discipline judges and prosecutors.
Brussels sees the disciplinary chamber as a threat to the country’s judicial independence that makes judges subject to political control.
