WARSAW (Reuters) - A senior member of Poland's ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) signalled on Wednesday it was ready to give some ground to end a constitutional standoff with the EU, though his leader kept up his invective against Europe in the local press.

The right-wing, eurosceptic government has been caught up in an unprecedented row with Brussels institutions over changes it made to Poland's constitutional court that critics say weakened the tribunal.
