instructed to cough up \u20ac70 million in fines by the European Commission, having yet refused to pay the penalties imposed by the European Court of Justice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\"

in fines per day after the country refused to suspend its overhaul of the nation\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/poland-gets-formal-eu-demand-pay-fines-over-judicial-regime-2022-01-20\/\">report<\/a> by&nbsp;Reuters, the commission has now issued an official \u201ccall for payment\u201d to Warsaw, demanding that the nation surrender around \u20ac70 million or it will deduct the amount from Poland\u2019s share of the bloc\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter analyzing the reply from Poland to a letter from 22 December, the European Commission has concluded that Poland failed to provide evidence that it complies with the order issued by the Court of Justice,\u201d a commission spokesman said, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/eu-commission-demands-poland-pay-fine-over-judiciary\/\">report<\/a> by Politico.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe measures so far adopted by the Polish authorities had already been brought to the attention of the vice president of the Court in the context of the Court proceedings and deemed as insufficient,\u201d the spokesman continued.<\/p>\n<p>Poland \u2014 a former Soviet satellite state \u2014 has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/poland-gets-formal-eu-demand-pay-fines-over-judicial-regime-2022-01-20\/\">previously<\/a> claimed that its overhaul of the judiciary was necessary for the purpose of removing communist influence from the institution, but members of the ruling Law and Justice party have since said they will attempt to rectify any legal issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPoland will take legal steps to prevent violations of the EU treaties,\u201d said one spokesman for the Polish government, Piotr M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"
