Poland's ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) proposed a legislative amendment on Wednesday backtracking on Supreme Court reforms at the centre of its conflict with the European Union over democratic standards.

In October the European Court of Justice said in an injunction, which carries no right to appeal, that Poland has to suspend an overhaul of the Supreme Court.

A justification of the draft amendment to the Supreme Court was published on the Polish parliament's website on Wednesday.

"The amendment constitutes an execution of the European Court of Justice injunction," it said.
