Quick Glance: EU Unlocks €137 Billion for Poland: von der Leyen in Warsaw
  • During a visit to meet Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw, Ursula von der Leyen, the commission’s president, announced that the European Commission will unblock up to €137 billion (600 billion zloty) in EU funds frozen over rule-of-law concerns under the previous government.

  • The frozen funds, nearly €60 billion from the EU’s post-pandemic recovery fund and €76 billion in cohesion funds, stemmed from the judicial reforms of the government of the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, which exerted greater political control over the courts.

  • This week, Poland’s justice minister Adam Bodnar presented in Brussels a package of 10 bills aimed at restoring the rule of law in Poland, impacting key institutions such as the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Tribunal.

  • As part of its post-pandemic National Recovery Plan, Poland is set to receive €59.8 billion, comprising €25.3 billion in grants and €34.5 billion in preferential loans. The initial payment is expected to be €6.3 billion.
