EU Demands Poles Not Ask if Their Law Trumps Poland’s in Highest Court

The European Parliament adopted a resolution Thursday calling on Poland’s prime minister to cancel a case in which he asks a top Polish court whether Poland’s or the European Union’s law takes precedence in the country.

The court’s ruling, when it eventually comes, could be of fundamental nature for the EU legal order and for Poland’s relations with the bloc. Poland’s right-wing government insists that law systems are the sole responsibility of member states, not of the EU.
