Poland's Constitutional Tribunal (TK) ruled last week that several articles of the EU Treaties do not comply with the Polish constitution, calling into question the primacy of European Union law over national legislation. The TK, after examining the application of Morawiecki, decided that European regulations, to the extent to which the organs of the EU operate outside the limits of powers conferred by Poland, are inconsistent with the Polish Constitution.
The European Parliament's press service said the EP intended to request the EC for a rapid launch of a conditionality mechanism governing the pay-out of EU funds. The mechanism allows for funds to be withheld if a member state breaches the fundamental EU principle of the rule of law.
Following the debate on Tuesday, voting will be held on Thursday.
