Poland gets three months to address concerns about court
The European Union yesterday handed Poland a three-month deadline to reverse changes to its constitutional court to meet EU concerns over the rule of law and democracy.
The move is the second step in an unprecedented procedure which could eventually see Warsaw's voting rights suspended in the European council of ministers, the EU's most important decision-making body.
"We now invite the Polish authorities to take action to solve these concerns and inform the commission of the steps taken within three months," European Commission deputy president Frans Timmermans told reporters.
