Fotyga tells EU to do more for new member states

She made the announcement not only in the presence of Polish journalists, but also among EU foreign ministers. Representatives of the EU agreed already that no new negotiations will be held concerning an agreement with Russia, until the embargo on Polish meat is lifted. However, Fotyga demands more. "Lifting the embargo is not enough. Poland now wants Russia to ensure energy security. These are our two postulates," announced Fotyga. Her plan is to avoid a situation which was faced by Lithuania, where Russia halted transfer of oil to the refinery in Mozeikiu. According to Fotyga, the EU is not doing a good enough job in protecting the rights of new member states in the face of Russia. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.K.
