Piechociński: Euro entry to be debated in the next term
22:35
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, Janusz Piechociński, said that a discussion about Poland's entry into the euro zone is important but that it should wait until the parliamentary elections. The statement was Piechociński's response to President Komorowski's address to the nation.
In a Polish Radio interview, Piechociński reminded that there is a constitutional requirement for a Sejm majority on the issue. “There is no point in starting the discussion, knowing very well that almost one half of the members of parliament are against euro adoption.”
“We don't want to repeat the mistake of Slovenia,” said Piechociński. “When Poland enters the euro zone it should have a competitive economy, with new technologies, next generation industries and well-functioning institutions."
