Question for written answer E-001204/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Jadwiga Wiśniewska (ECR)
At a meeting with Ursula von der Leyen on 7 February 2025, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said ‘Poland will not implement the Migration Pact in a way that would introduce additional quotas of immigrants in Poland,’ and his argumentation was met with understanding from the Commission.
However, on 10 March 2025, Commission spokesperson Markus Lammert said that the Pact on Migration and Asylum was binding on all EU countries and that if a Member State risks delaying the implementation of legislation or even undermining the Pact the Commission would have to take the ‘necessary measures’.
In light of the above:
- 1.Is Prime Minister Tusk correct in stating that the Commission accepted the Polish Government’s argumentation and that Poland will be exempt from the migrant relocation mechanism set out in Article 56(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1351 on asylum and migration management?
- 2.What ‘necessary measures’ is the Commission planning to take against countries which do not fully comply with the provisions of the Pact on Migration and Asylum?
