Frans Timmermans’ comments reveal depth of concern about rule of law in central European country
A senior European Commission official has criticised an ‘incorrect’ decision by his colleagues to approve Poland’s Covid recovery plan, in comments that reveal the depth of concern about the rule of law in the central European country.
Frans Timmermans, a European commission vice-president, who spent nearly four years leading EU efforts to safeguard independent courts in Poland, said the approval of Poland’s long-delayed Covid recovery plan last month was not correct.
