The European Union launched legal action on Saturday against Poland's right-wing government over a new law it fears will undermine the independence of the country's common courts.
"The European Commission launched an infringement procedure against Poland by sending a letter of formal notice, following the publication in the Polish Official Journal of the Law on the Ordinary Courts Organisation on Friday 28 July," the European Commission said in a statement.
