According to Reuters, one EU official said “we are checking to see if there is a violation of EU treaties” in the zones and that the process hasn’t been completed, while another confirmed the Brussels-based executive is also investigating the issue.
Bloomberg Equality also said “four people familiar with the matter” – who preferred to remain anonymous – confirmed the EU is in fact working on “potential legal action”.
When asked to comment, a Polish government spokesperson said: “There are no laws in Poland that would discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation.” The legal action, known as an infringement procedure, would see the EU challenge Poland to eliminate the zones and correct the issue.
