Polish-German summit to discuss EU constitution?

The visit may be a breakthrough in the recently tense relations between Poland and Germany. Merkel will meet President Lech Kaczynski to discuss the European constitution. The visit will take place before the EU summit in Berlin scheduled for March 25 at which EU leaders are to adopt the so-called Berlin declaration which is to revive the works on the European constitution. The Polish President has numerous reservations about the constitution and he criticized the idea to limit the right to veto or to appoint the EU foreign minister. Poland would also like to include mention of Christian values in the Berlin declaration, as well as a statement about the necessity to enlarge the EU further. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) E.B.
