“There is insufficient explanation” about “the link between these measures and the relevant provisions of EU law,” Advocate General Evgeni Tanchev said in the opinion. “The Court should declare that the requests for a preliminary ruling relating to the national measures establishing a regime for disciplinary proceedings against judges in Poland are inadmissible.”
