"Another of our fears was that the inefficiency of Polish institutions would mean EU money would be badly spent, while the ‘old’ countries of the EU were afraid that the ‘new’ Member States, with their inefficient administration and cantankerous political parties, would disorganise the work of the Union, and that Poles would flood European labour markets. Most of these fears did not materialise, and the negative stereotypes have given way to new opinions. Polish business has adapted to the new rules of play, and our economy has developed rapidly in comparison with the crisis-ridden countries of Europe. This was possible in part thanks to European funds, which we have used in the development of our regions. Great credit here is due to local governments, which have become a strong institution and have provided stability to democracy. Poland is, today, an important Member State of the EU and its voice is respected, and it is also an important country for the Union because Poland is among the most pro-European of societies. The Polish Government should give expression to these attitudes during the Presidency. The Union, which has been shaken by different kinds of crisis, needs leadership which will call attention to European values and work for a cohesive and strong Union."@en1
