PM Szydło met head of EP

Prime Minister Beata Szydło spoke with the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz by telephone this morning.  A government spokesman stated that the two leaders agreed on the fact that the situation in Poland is not currently the most important matter for the EU; that distinction goes to the migrant crisis. "Both the Prime Minister and President Schultz are aiming to resolve any inaccuracies and misunderstandings which have arisen in the public sphere," the spokesperson continued. He also emphasized that the ongoing dialogue between Warsaw and Brussels is part of a "normal, standard and conventional cooperation with the EU", adding that these types of informational requests have been given out by Brussels to other countries many times before. As a result of the conversation, it was also determined that the debate on Poland in the European Parliament will be held on Tuesday 20th January.
