Poland might reconsider its veto on EU-Russia negotiations

Poland will definitely withdraw its veto if Russia lifts the ban it imposed on the import of Polish agrarian products 18 months ago. Jerzy Haszczynski approves of the Polish government's policy. "Many countries sympathised with the Polish veto against a new agreement between the EU and Russia. More and more Europeans are realising that an offended Russia would also be capable of boycotting meat from their countries - or turning off their gas supplies in the middle of winter. The Polish government has made a conciliatory gesture - it's prepared to withdraw its veto. It has stipulated easy conditions. There is no logical reason why Russia shouldn't lift the embargo. All it requires is that President Putin act rationally."
