WARSAW, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- The prospect of recognizing Poland as a country not abiding by EU law through the implementation of the disciplinary measures, known as Article 7, is getting less likely, but the vision of reduced funds for the country in the future EU budget is becoming increasingly real, the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita daily wrote on Tuesday.
Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad Szymanski, responsible for European affairs, has announced that next week Poland will send experts to Brussels for talks with the European Commission and member states.
As the daily noted, "their task is to explain the details of Poland's five new judicial laws, seen by Brussels as a threat to the rule of law, and by the Polish government as a necessary reform of justice, in line with European standards."
Rzeczpospolita emphasized that "this is an offensive of the new Polish government, which wants to talk about details in order to delay the EU Council's decision."
According to the daily, "this may be a successful strategy, not only because the new prime minister and minister of foreign affairs have stopped attacking the European Commission and are meeting with its authorities, but also because of the political situation in the whole EU."
"In the meantime, however, there is a discussion about EU finances after 2020, and this is worse news for Poland," Rzeczpospolita reported.
Vera Jourova, EU Commissioner for Justice, has said that the Commission wants to propose making payments from the EU budget conditional upon an efficient and independent justice system," the daily pointed out.
