Polish Business Club gives an oscar to Chairman of the European Parliament

"Please do not send 54 old people to Strasbourg, but rather send representatives from Poland, that contributed to freeing the continent," implored Pat Cox before June elections to the European Parliament. He also requested that the candidates should represent a diverse group of people in terms of gender, age, geographic region, political background, but like-minded in their approach in building a united Europe. Cox also stressed that the fiasco from last December's summit in Brussels concerning the EU Constitution should not only be attributed to Poland and Spain. However, he hoped that a final version of the EU constitution would be ready before the June elections. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 8) M.M.
