Determination of a clear risk of a serious breach by Poland of the rule of law
A dossier on determining a clear risk of a serious breach by Poland of the rule of law. The amendments reference Article 2 and Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, the reform of the Polish judiciary, infringement procedures launched by the Commission, hearings of Poland in the Council, and reports by the United Nations and the OSCE; some express deep concern, others call the Polish Government's explanations legitimate.

Plenary votes
86 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
