Brussels. The European Commission launched unprecedented disciplinary proceedings against Poland on Wednesday over its highly controversial judicial reforms which Brussels says threaten the rule of law, AFP reported.

Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said that 13 laws adopted by Poland in the space of two years had created a situation where the goverment "can systematically politcally interfere with the composition, powers, the adminstration and the functioning" of judicial authorities.
