Buzek, Jerzy (1998) Poland’s Future in a United Europe. ZEI Discussion Papers: 1998, C 6

Abstract

[From the Introduction]. The momentum of Europe’s development in the recent years has become an immense challenge for all of us. Poland can finally participate in the European integration process. This opens the question on the role of our country in a united Europe. In Luxembourg the European Union made the decision on the initiation of membership negotiations with Poland, among other countries. This has set the final seal on the end of the post-war period in Europe – a disastrous period for our political aspirations and economic needs. This change is a chance for a new era – in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, but also, and to no lesser degree, in countries of the European Union.
