Poland takes the initiative to help break the EU budget deadlock

21st June 2005

If there is no compromise over the 2007-2013 EU budget, Poland will not agree to a makeshift budget, nor to changing the structure of expenditures.

"We would lose at least half of the structural funds," said EU Affairs Minister Jarosław Pietras. In order to break the current deadlock, Polish Commissioner Danuta Huebner proposed to call an extraordinary EU summit. "I hope there would be a compromise if there was an additional summit organized by Luxembourg," said Huebner in an interview for German daily Berliner Zeitung. In her opinion, a rapid compromise is necessary at least for new EU members, which will be the main beneficiaries of regional aid. The proposed solution was not welcomed by the whole European Commission, as some officials in Brussels await an initiative from Great Britain, which will take over the presidency over the EU on July 1.
