Catholics to work on 'declaration of morality'

During last weekend's Catholics convention in Gniezno, Polish representatives assured representatives of the Catholic Church that they would work on a more detailed declaration of morality, to be included in the EU accession treaty. "Detailing a one-sided declaration is still possible, but working on a mutual one might be troublesome," said Senate member Edmund Wittbrodt. An anonymous diplomat from Brussels said that the issue of the accession treaty was closed and there was no chance of amending it. "I do not know what was promised by whom to whom, but changing the declaration is unlikely," said an official at UKIE. All involved assured that such a declaration would have symbolic significance and would only be prepared for internal use. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 13) M.M.
