"Thanks to the efforts of the President and Prime Minister of my country, Poland, common sense prevailed at the Brussels Summit, and an appropriate message on the climate package was delivered. Pursuant to agreements at the Summit, for which thanks are due to Europe’s leaders, the threat of unduly onerous environmental restrictions that would affect the new Member States in particular has receded. It has not totally disappeared, however.
The Summit also dealt with the financial crisis. Curiously, a smaller summit attended by the largest countries in the European Union had been held a few days before. This smaller summit was reminiscent of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It is not right for the most powerful Member States of the Union to impose their solutions on the other countries. In addition, the application of double standards is irritating. I refer to the fact that it is acceptable to finance banks in the Member States, but not acceptable to assist Polish shipyards. In this respect, the European Union is not unlike George Orwell’s
where all animals are equal but some are more equal than others."@en1
