At the EU summit in Brussels starting on Thursday, the leaders of 26 member states are to negotiate with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki a formula that will confirm the primacy of European law while maintaining, at least in theory, the opposite ruling of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal on this issue.
According to Rzeczpospolita daily, who provided this information citing its sources, the compromise could consist in obliging the Polish authorities to respect the rulings of the CJEU, especially on the liquidation of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court, but the ruling of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal would theoretically remain in force. The newspaper also emphasizes that such a solution would allow the Polish National Reconstruction Plan to be quickly unblocked.
Meanwhile, on October 19, at the plenary session of the European Parliament, this problem is to be discussed by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the head of the Polish government, who is also to come to Strasbourg.
According to Rzeczpospolita, which cites government sources, the Reconstruction Fund should be unblocked before mid-November. As a result, this year the national budget would receive a 13 percent advance (almost €5 billion) of the fund worth €37 billion.
