Foreign Minister happy with draft EU treaty

"Having read a draft of the proposed treaty we can say that the proposed solutions are close to our expectations," said Fotyga. After 2017 when the unfavorable for Poland voting system comes into force, the Joanina mechanism is to ensure that a small group of countries, such as Poland and France, retain the right to delay a decision supported by majority for a "reasonable period of time". For the time being Joanina will be inscribed in the declaration to the treaty and not the content of the actual treaty. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A6) M.M.
