>EU member states have expressed their support for the European Commission’s proposal to end rule-of-law proceedings against Poland that were initiated under the previous Law and Justice (PiS) government.

>However, Hungary – whose ruling party is an ally of PiS and which is itself subject to EU scrutiny – opposed the move, arguing that it is evidence of how Brussels uses rule-of-law issues as a “tool of political blackmail”.

>The EU triggered its rule-of-law procedure – known as Article 7 – against Poland in December 2017 due to concerns that PiS’s policies, especially its overhaul of the judiciary, represented “a clear risk of a serious breach” of the rule of law, human rights, and press freedom.

>However, after PiS was replaced in December by a new, more EU-friendly coalition led by Donald Tusk, Poland in February presented Brussels with an action plan to restore the rule of law and therefore exit the Article 7 proceedings.

>Earlier this month, the European Commission [ announced its intention to end the rule-of-law procedure, saying that it “considers that there is no longer a clear risk of a serious breach of the rule of law in Poland within the meaning of Article 7”.

>The next step in that process was presenting the commission’s position to the General Affairs Council, a body mainly made up of European affairs ministers from all EU member states. That was done yesterday by the commission’s vice president, Věra Jourová.

>Poland’s justice minister, Adam Bodnar, reported that the only member state to express opposition to the commission’s plans was Hungary, which has also been subject to Article 7 proceedings since 2018.

>Ahead of the meeting, Hungary’s minister for EU affairs, János Bóka, had sent a letter to Jourová outlining his government’s concerns.

>He noted that the commission was planning to end Article 7 proceedings almost entirely on the basis of “political promises” by the new Polish government to address rule-of-law rather than the introduction of legislation to actually do so.

>This “clearly contradicts \[the commission’s\] earlier position” and leaves the “commission facing the risk that its decision…will be considered as \[being\] taken purely on political grounds”, wrote Bóka.

>It “reinforces the view that Article 7 is nothing more than a tool for political blackmail” said the minister yesterday, quoted by the Interia news website.
