if you only read the article

poland was previously sanctioned under article 7 for undue influence over judiciary, but is not longer so

"We consider there is no longer a clear risk of a serious breach of the rule of law in Poland," said European Commissioner Věra Jourová.

The decision, previewed earlier this month and formalised on Wednesday morning, ends a long-running saga that dates back to December 2017 when the European Commission triggered Article 7 — known as the "nuclear option" because it can lead to the suspension of voting rights — over Poland's systematic erosion of judicial independence.
