The government will make changes to a disciplinary body attached to Poland’s Supreme Court that is at the centre of a legal dispute with the EU, a leading Polish official has said.
Zbigniew Ziobro, Poland’s justice minister, has said a European court's ruling on Poland's new disciplinary panel for judges is "unlawful" and against the Polish constitution.
Poland's newly appointed ombudsman has said that the contested disciplinary body of the country's Supreme Court should be suspended until a European Court's ruling is implemented.
The Polish government will analyse a European Commission (EC) request to present information on how Poland is implementing an EU top court ruling suspending the operation of the country's disciplinary regime for judges, the government spokesman has said.

Mateusz Morawiecki, the Polish prime minister, has said fears that Poland may leave the European Union due to the growing conflict over the country's judiciary reforms are "political fantasy."
Poland's Constitutional Tribunal has ruled as unconstitutional the EU Treaty provisions on which the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) based interim measures that Poland must suspend the functioning of the Supreme Court's Disciplinary Chamber.
