Budget bullfight
Last week, Belka met with the Spanish Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, to iron out differences on the matter.
"We still have different positions on details, but what's important is that we have a far-reaching political understanding on this issue," said Prime Minister Belka after the meeting.
Countries such as Spain, Greece and Portugal-which have so far received the bulk of EU aid-are anxious that they could lose out to new, poorer members from central Europe.
However, Zapatero said he was convinced the EU would reach a compromise on the issue, and wanted Poland to benefit from EU aid as much as Spain has. (Reuters)
