Poland has replaced a controversial body that disciplined judges with a new accountability panel to resolve a long-running dispute with the European Union over the country’s judicial independence.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Poland’s ruling party, said on Tuesday that he hoped the bloc would have a “proper” reaction to the move.
The EU has frozen billions of euros of pandemic funds for Poland over criticism of its rule of law record.
Kaczynski insisted that Poland has met the EU’s demands for changes to the regulations on the judiciary.
“I hope the reaction will be proper and in line with the EU treaties,” Kaczynski said, reiterating his long-term view that EU bodies have been violating the bloc’s treaties in their approach to Poland.
President Andrzej Duda signed the changes to the disciplinary regulations into law on Monday evening.
