The*European commission*has launched an unprecedented inquiry in response to controversial Polish legislation that puts more power into the hands of the country’s staunchly conservative government.

The decision marks the first time EU authorities have launched a formal investigation into the rule of law in a member state.

Announcing the inquiry, Frans Timmermans, vice-president of the commission, the EU’s executive body, said officials in Brussels had an obligation to ensure the rule of law was upheld across the EU, and that they were concerned about the functioning of Poland’s highest court.

“The binding rulings of the constitutional tribunal [Poland’s highest legislative court] are currently not respected, which I believe is a serious matter in any rule of law-dominated state,” he said.

Another one of your threads that just lifts a trending news story and pastes it without commentary. So what? If they want to send us their cheap plumbers there'll have to be a little EU governance from time to time, It's Quid Pro Quo
