EU ends rule-of-law proceedings against Poland

The European Union Commission no longer believes there is a risk to the rule of law in Poland, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday, adding that the EU would therefore end rule-of-law proceedings against the country, which were initiated over six years ago. "Today marks the opening of a new chapter for Poland", von der Leyen said in a post on X.
