News of the IAJ

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has agreed to examine – on an expedited basis – the appeal of four European judges’ trade unions, including the European Association of Judges, against the decision of the Commission and the Council to approve the payment of €35.4 billion of EU funds to Poland.

In a rare press release on Friday morning, the four main trade unions of European judges announced that they had obtained a ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to examine their appeal against the decision of the Spring European Council, which allows Poland to obtain up to €35.4 billion in the framework of its recovery and resilience plan. Secondly and equally importantly, the appeal will be considered on an accelerated basis, potentially before the summer, while parliamentary elections are due to take place in Poland in the autumn.
