The EU (European Union) has agreed to launch hearings into fears Poland is breaching the independence of its courts, The Globe Post website reports today (June 14, 2018).
The European Commission -- the EU's executive arm -- said it had asked the 28 member states to hold a formal hearing after Poland's right-wing government had failed to satisfy its concerns.
Ambassadors from the EU countries agreed yesterday the first of several hearings will take place on June 26 when European affairs ministers meet in Luxembourg.
Brussels in December triggered so-called article seven proceedings against Poland over "systemic threats" to the rule of law, which could eventually see Warsaw's EU voting rights suspended.
