  • "The EU Commission is carefully assessing the recent ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court. But I can already say: I am deeply concerned. This ruling calls into question the foundations of the EU. It is a direct challenge to the unity of the European legal order. The ruling has a direct impact on the protection of the judiciary. Without independent courts, people are less protected. Their rights are at stake. Polish people must be able to rely on fair & equal treatment in the judicial system. In our Union we all enjoy the same rights."
  • "We cannot and will not allow for our common values to be out at risk, we are looking at all options: infringement, conditionality of EU funds and the Article 7 procedure."
