The government plans to discuss issues related to the Fiscal Stability Treaty on that day, and the issue is closely related to Poland's path to the euro zone, the prime minister said. He added that he has talked to the president about a meeting on euro adoption. “We will not discuss whether, but rather when and how [to enter the euro zone],” he added.

Polish PM also announced that a special meeting of cabinet council on that matter will take place soon. Cabinet Council is an entity consisting of president and government officials, that holds irregular meetings on issues of national importance.

According to unofficial information obtained by Polish Press Agency, NBP president Marek Belka and Minister of Economy, Janusz Piechociński will take part in the debate among others.”We won't discuss whether we should join euro zone, but when and how we will do it,” added Mr Tusk.
