(AP-ANSA) - BRUSSELS - The European Union has decided to take
Poland to its top court, the European Court of Justice, over
disagreements on the overhaul of the Polish judicial system, a
move criticized as a violation of Western democratic standards.
The EU's executive Commission said in a statement Monday that "the Polish law on the Supreme Court is incompatible with EU law as it undermines the principle of judicial independence." The Commission gave Warsaw a first warning in July and followed it up with another step in August before taking Monday's decision.
