Written exchange between the Commission and Polish government regarding Poland's judicial milestones
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting access to the correspondence between the European Commission and the Polish government regarding the Polish government's judicial bill submitted the Polish Parliament in the night of 13-14 December 2022 so as to allegedly meet the judicial milestones contained in Poland's Recovery Plan approved by the Council of the EU on 17 June 2022.
In particular, I am requesting access to the written assurances provided by the European Commission to the Polish government and whose existence was publicly confirmed by Polish Minister for European Affairs Minister Szymon Szynkowski on 16 December 2022:
Szynkowski vel Sęk: Dysponuję pismem z gwarancją, że jest to projekt ustawy niezbędny do odblokowania KPO http://300polityka.pl/live/2022/12/16/sz...
See also the public statement by the ruling party’s spokesman Bochenek reported on 14 December 2022: “We have preliminary assurances from the justice commissioner [Didier Reynders] that the adoption of these solutions in the form in which they were submitted to parliament will start the process of opening [blocked funds] for Poland” (Source: https://notesfrompoland.com/2022/12/14/p...).
Yours faithfully,
Laurent Pech
