Viera Jourova plans to come to Warsaw

“The situation regarding the rule of law in Poland is getting worse,” said EC Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders on Tuesday. Vice President of the European Commission for Values and Transparency Viera Jourova announced that she wants to visit Warsaw as soon as possible for talks with the Polish authorities.
In Brussels, ministers for European affairs are once again dealing with Poland under the procedure of Article 7 of the EU Treaty. Representatives of the European Commission are to provide information on the rule of law situation in Poland at the General Affairs Council meeting.
“Unfortunately, we’ve seen negative developments in recent weeks and months since the recent discussions about Poland and Hungary,” Reynders added.
Jourova said that member states must discuss the situation in Poland and Hungary. She did not reveal when exactly she was going to Poland and Hungary, but she indicated that she wanted to do it as soon as possible.
