Warsaw. File photoWARSAW, June 13Polish President Andrzej Duda signed a law abolishing the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court, because of which the European Commission fined the republic 100 million euros, said the head of the presidential office, Pavel Schroth. Earlier, the European Commission withheld 100 million euros of funds due to Poland due to Warsaw's refusal to comply with the decision of the EU court. Prior to this, the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg ordered Poland to pay one million euros per day in favor of the European Commission as a fine for not complying with an earlier court decision to terminate the activities of the disciplinary chamber for judges.
Poland to receive hundreds of millions of euros from the EU for arms supplied to Ukraine I hoped,” Schroth wrote on Twitter and published a presidential order on the official publication of the law, which is issued after the document is signed by the president. According to the EC, the activities of the Disciplinary Chamber, which can decide on the professional activities of judges, threaten their independence and impartiality. In turn, the Constitutional Court of Poland did not consider the decision of the EU Court of Justice to suspend the work of the disciplinary chamber binding.
