Polish court says some EU law unconstitutional, deepening dispute

The European Commission said the ruling raised serious concerns about the primacy of EU law, setting it on a full collision course with Poland's nationalist rulers after years of legal and political wrangling.

On Thursday, Judge Bartlomiej Sochanski said: "The EU Treaty is subordinate to the constitution in the Polish legal system ... and, like any part of the Polish legal system, it must comply with the constitution.""In Poland the highest legal act is the constitution and all European regulations that are in force in Poland ... must comply with the constitution.

The European Commission said it would analyse the ruling before deciding on its next steps, without going into more detail. Some critics say the delays may have been aimed at putting pressure on Brussels to accept Warsaw's National Recovery Plan, an aid programme aimed at helping EU economies shake off the impact of the pandemic but whose funding is linked to compliance with EU rule of law and democracy standards.
