EU Concludes Rule of Law Dispute with Poland, Drops Sanctions

The European Union has officially ended its longstanding legal conflict with Poland following significant judicial reforms by the new government.

The EU's decision comes after Poland, under the leadership of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, implemented measures to restore judicial independence.
Sanctions and financial penalties that had been imposed on Poland are being lifted, marking a significant shift in EU-Poland relations.
The resolution of the dispute signifies a major policy turnaround from the previous nationalist government's judicial overhauls.
Poland's commitment to rejoining the European public prosecutor’s office and adjusting its judicial council were key factors in the EU's decision.
This development leaves Hungary as the remaining EU nation still facing sanctions for rule-of-law violations.
