The January debate followed the Commission’s 13 January decision to initiate the first stage of the "Framework for addressing systemic threats to the Rule of Law" in Poland. The European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) issued its opinion on the Polish authorities' amendments to the law on the country's Constitutional Tribunal on 11 March.
Procedure: non-legislative resolution
Vote: Wednesday, 13 April
