SALZBURG, Austria (Reuters) - Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said he had a "good" meeting with the head of the country's Supreme Court earlier in the day and welcomed the fact that the EU executive did not file a new lawsuit against Warsaw over changes to the judicial body.

The EU's executive European Commission defied expectations earlier on Wednesday by not referring to the bloc's top court, the European Court of Justice, a new case against Poland for trying to push out its Supreme Court judges, including Malgorzata Gersdorf, who has defied government pressure.
