The European Commission has decided to refer Poland to the EU Court of Justice for failing to communicate what measures were being taken to organise safety investigations after serious accidents at sea.

The purpose of these investigations is to establish what has caused the accidents and draw lessons to improve maritime safety in the future. By failing to put in place an independent body to carry out these investigations, Poland is slowing down possible maritime safety improvements.
