Euroskeptics hijack discussion to put Huebner under the screws

However, the discussion concerning commercial policy was hijacked by a number of domestic Euroskeptic deputies, who took the opportunity to attack her personally, raising questions about her past and her salary, as well as about withdrawing the army from Iraq. The questions surprised the assembled deputies as the issues raised were largely unrelated to EU affairs. After some time, however, EU representatives came to her defense. "Poles whom I have met, especially young ones, are delighted with EU membership," said Christopher Beazley, a UK Conservative. Huebner should be officially accepted by the European Parliament and the EU Council at the beginning of May. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A7) M.M.
