Poland hasn’t been asked to adjust its plans for post-pandemic aid from the European Union, a minister said, following a report that the government is ready to offer concessions to unlock the funds.
The largest eastern EU state is among a handful of members yet to get approval for the disbursement of funds as the government faces reproach over its efforts to skirt some EU laws by saying Poland’s override them. The government in Warsaw has asked for 36 billion euros ($42.4 billion) in financing, including 23.9 billion euros in grants.
