WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The European Commission chief said Thursday that Poland's right-wing government is responsible for fully implementing the steps on judiciary independence that will make the disbursement of billions of euros in EU pandemic recovery grants and loans for the country possible. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was in Warsaw to officially confirm the EU executive's long-delayed approval of Poland’s pandemic recovery plan, which would enable conditional release of the funds. “The approval of this plan is linked to clear commitment by Poland on the independence of the judiciary,” von der Leyen told reporters.
