Poland warming up to EU constitution - by Andrew Rettman
Poland is becoming more friendly toward the idea of an EU constitution, with new foreign minister Anna Fotyga set to give broad backing to the project at a gathering of EU foreign ministers in Klosterneuburg, Austria on 27 May Rzeczpospolita reports. Some of the changes that Warsaw would like to see include dropping the preamble which makes no reference to Christian values; softening wording on the primacy of EU law over national law and inserting statements to protect the existing legal competences of member states.
Polish president, Lech Kaczynski's "rhetoric has changed" on the constitution, after strong reactions from other EU-Member states and anti-Polish news-reports in the European Press. I*n recent speeches with recent speeches Kaczynski is now stressing European solidarity compared to comments he made four months back that the charter is "dead".
