Supreme Court changes bound to release EU recovery funds - Polish official

Poland should still be able to secure EU pandemic recovery funding despite the lower house of parliament passing a bill scrapping a disciplinary chamber for judges without amendments recommended by the Senate, a deputy interior minister has said. On June 1, the European Commission approved the national post-pandemic recovery plan (KPO) and stands to receive 35.4 billion euros from the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). However, the release of the money has been conditioned on the dissolution of the disciplinary panel and reforming the disciplinary procedure for judges.
