So-called 'Article 7' proceedings were launched in 2017 over concerns that an overhaul of Poland's judiciary under the previous government represented a 'clear risk' to rule of law.
The EU said on Monday it will drop proceedings against Poland launched six years ago over concerns about risks to the rule of law.
According to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the Commission no longer believes there is a risk to the rule of law in Poland, after the new centrist government in Warsaw took steps to address the problems.
The situation changed after the PiS lost the parliamentary elections in October to a coalition led by former and current Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a pro-EU liberal, who vowed to mend relations with Brussels.
