Members of the European Parliament's Civil
Liberties Committee (LIBE) declared Poland is at risk of breaching EU values and
called on member states for swift action regarding the rule of law situation. MEPs are particularly concerned about the separation of powers, independence of the
judiciary and fundamental rights. LIBE endorsed the European Commission’s

resolution will be put to a plenary vote in a future session.
