Poland has to explain in front of CJEU

Poland is to provide the Court of Justice of the European Union with explanations regarding the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court by February 13, as an EU source told PAP.

On January 24, the CJEU announced that the European Commission had submitted a request to the CJEU for interim measures against Poland regarding the system of disciplinary liability of judges. If the CJEU approves the request, the Supreme Court Disciplinary Board will be suspended.

The spokesman for the Polish government, Piotr Müller, commenting on the EC decision to apply for interim measures, said then that “justice is the regulatory domain of the member states and is not affected by EU regulations.” He added that, in the view of the government, the EC has no legal basis to challenge the law on justice.
