The resolution criticizes the Polish government for politicizing the appointments of its judges and “poses a serious threat to the legality of Poland.”
The statement of the Dutch Parliament also claims that it also means that the entire basis of Poland’s participation in the European Union is threatened.
Resolution means that the Dutch government is obliged to notify Poland before the Court of Justice of the European Communities for “breach of the obligations derived from the Treaty on European Union”. The statement also calls on other EU countries that share this vision of Poland to join the sentiment.
The specific allegations are about political interference in the appointment of judges, that a new “disciplinary chamber” created by the Polish conservative national government continues to operate despite the EU demanding its abolition, and still deprives judges of their immunity.
Deep down the netherlands measures, there is the ongoing battle for the EU budget, where Poland threatens to veto if the EU argues that financial funds from member states should be tied to the rule of law.
– The Dutch will not let us intimidate. If other countries have decided on a legal dispute with Poland, we have many arguments, Polish Deputy Justice Minister Sebastian Kaleta told the Onet news site.
– We can, for example, show that the appointment of judges in Germany or Spain is clearly politicized. We can show that the Netherlands also has a big problem adapting to European standards of detention. Therefore, Poland has more reason to report someone to the Court of Justice of the European Communities.
