Will Poland get more funds due to internal EU quarrels?

The European Parliament demanded the removal from the accession treaty an appendix with strict sums to be paid to the EU candidate countries between 2004-2006. It justified its motion by saying that this would also work in the interest of the applying states, as in some cases the sums are simply too low. The move is the result of the war on competencies between the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament. The deputies of the latter claim that strict sums for the candidate countries would limit their competencies. However, they also assured of their full support for the candidate countries to join the EU on the scheduled date of May 1, 2004. The three EU bodies held a conciliatory meeting, which ended with fiasco. After that deputies demanded crossing out above mentioned appendix, or otherwise they threatened to substantially delay EU expansion. (Puls Biznesu, p. 12; Rzeczpospolita, p. B2) M.M.
