Poland “Not Ready to Approve this Treaty in its Current Form”.
Written by Libertas   
Monday, 08 October 2007

According to EU Observer this morning, Polish President Lech Kaczynski is to meet his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris today to discuss Poland’s dissatisfaction with the compromise treaty. With a keen eye on parliamentary elections immediately after the Lisbon summit at which the treaty is to be agreed, Kaczinsky will be seeking to make political capital from his demands to ensure a decision-blocking mechanism is written into the rehashed constitution to enable a member state to delay legislation if it hurts its interests.

While the Polish President’s motives are undoubtedly strongly influenced by the looming elections, it is encouraging that at least someone is exposing aspects of this treaty to some scrutiny given that Europe’s citizens are being asked to swallow this undigestible whole without even looking at the menu.
