The European Commission laid out its options - ranging from legal action to withholding funds - for a response to a Polish court ruling that questioned the supremacy of EU law, stressing that action must be taken to protect the bloc's common values.

"The European Commission is, at the moment, carefully assessing this judgment," the European Union's executive president, Ursula von der Leyen, said on Tuesday.

"This ruling calls into question the foundations of the European Union. It is a direct challenge to the unity of the European legal order." Another option is a conditionality mechanism and other financial tools whereby funds from the EU's budget and its post-pandemic recovery fund would be withheld from Poland.

Go Poland go don't let the EU govern your country.
