President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen stated that “The approval of this plan is linked to clear commitments by Poland on the independence of the judiciary, which will need to be fulfilled before any actual payment can be made.”

The proposal must now be approved by EU members within four weeks. After which the commission will authorize disbursements of the funds based on “the satisfactory fulfillment of the milestones and targets outline in the recovery and resilience plan, reflecting progress on the implementation of the investments and reforms.”

Von der Leyen is traveling to Warsaw on Thursday to publicly announce the deal.
