Points of tension arise between Huebner and the government

It is worth stressing that Commissioners represent the interests of the whole EU and they cannot follow the instructions of their national governments. Danuta Huebner voted in favor of limiting export subsidies, production quotas and intervention prices on the sugar market which hurts Poland's national interest, as the government argues this decreases farmers' revenues. Other areas of divergence include the production of automotive spare parts. Huebner backs a policy allowing any company to produce spare parts as opposed to the government's policy of limiting them to OEM's as opening the market could result in a flood of cheap imported parts which would damage domestic producers.
