Landmark Lisbon treaty will see larger European Union

"We are truly moved, for it is a very important day for Poland," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk, adding: "It is a nice symbolic way to close a chapter in our history 26 years to the day after the introduction of martial law". Tusk and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski signed the treaty on Poland's behalf, but they were joined at the signing ceremony by President Lech Kaczyński. They exchanged warm handshakes after the event. But the President's late decision to travel to Lisbon after a conflict with Tusk took the organizers by surprise: he was not included as member of the Polish delegation in an official summit booklet, and the Portuguese PM Jose Socrates made a major faux pas when he made Kaczyński stand to his left, indicating inferiority.
