Summary/Abstract: The article explores the potential for new research into issues of state non-conformity as a result ofincreasing euro-skepticism in Europe. Relying on the Polish example, it suggests that a new attitudetowards the EU has arisen which escapes traditional classifications and warrants a rethinking ofestablished theories on sources of non-compliance. This attitude gives new context to the Commission’s existing enforcement practice and calls for a fresh look at its compliance instruments not onlywith respect to infringement cases but also in its dispute with Poland over the rule of law principlewhere the conduct of both parties seems to be symptomatic of their more general approaches.
