Prime Minister and EU President meet in Brussels

According to Rzeczpospolita, an important subject of their talks will be the European Constitution. Last weekend Barroso declared that the amendments to the draft constitution should not concern the voting system, while the Polish government believes that the proposed double majority system should be abandoned. Other countries also expressed their reservations about the draft, but none of them wanted to change the proposed voting system. Kaczynski will also meet other EU commissioners. The visit will be an occasion for the Prime Minister to convince his European partners that, despite suggestions to the contrary, his government is in favor of European integration.
