The money had been withheld because of a dispute between the EU and the former government, but now Donald Tusk's administration started to roll back some legal reforms in return for billions in funding.
Poland could access some €76.5 billion in cohesion funds to help raise living standards in poorer EU member states.
“Today we turn a page on the Rule Of Law issues [with Poland] as we recognize the important strides made by the government,” EU Commission Vice President Vera Jourova wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
After winning the election in October 2023 and being appointed in December, new Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk pledged to reverse the previous government’s policies.
Last week Commission President Ursula von der Leyen promised “good news” to reward Tusk for his efforts.
Polish Justice Minister Adam Bodnar was in Brussels last week to present the new government’s plan, consisting of laws aimed at rolling back the controversial reforms.
Parts of that plan depend on new legislation, which could yet be vetoed by Polish president Andrzej Duda of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, which controlled the previous government.
