The European Commission will not pay Poland’s invoices. EU commissioner: Must meet conditions

– The situation is clear. I said this clearly when I took part in the ceremony at the Royal Castle in Warsaw. I explained to journalists, as well as publicly, that the approval of the partnership agreement and operational programs are important steps and that a certain percentage of the budget for 2021-2027, in particular for technical assistance, will be transferred to Poland, in line with our expectations that the problems will be solved. It was clear from the beginning that the advance payments would go to Poland, but invoices for projects from the new budget would not be paid until Poland met all the required conditions.. I hope that the law-based dialogue conducted by my colleagues from the EC will bring a solution, emphasized Elisa Ferreira, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms in an interview for “”.

The European Commission is waiting for invoices from Poland

The EU commissioner said that money from cohesion policy for Poland for the period 2014-2020 is not at risk. When asked whether the Polish government had sent invoices for the current programming period for 2021-2027, she replied: – To tell you the truth, I don’t know whether any have already reached our relevant services or not. If they have already been sent, they will of course be assessed but cannot be paid until we confirm that Poland has met all horizontal conditions.
