Jourova recognizes risk of linking rule of law with EU budget

Vice-head of the European Commission Viera Jourova recognizes the risk of linking budget decisions in the EU with the rule of law in individual countries, emphasized Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki after Tuesday's meeting with Jourova. He added that the rule of law in each country is to be assessed by a special international commission.

At a briefing after the meeting with the EU Commissioner, Grodzki told that there are more and more signals that EU funds will be transferred to member countries subject to compliance with the rule of law.

"This risk is seen by Ms. Jourova, although budget decisions are still far away,“ he noted.
