Since October 2015 the governing Law and Justice Party has been engaged in the reform of the justice system in Poland. A series of laws have been enacted, including as from January 2018 a law concerning the Polish Council for the Judiciary (KRS).
On 17 September 2018, an Extraordinary General Assembly of the ENCJ decided to suspend the membership of the KRS because it no longer met the requirements of the ENCJ that it is independent of the Executive and Legislature in a manner which ensured the independence of the Polish Judiciary (position paper added). Only the KRS voted against its own suspension.
