Poland wants to revive Weimar Triangle

Polish president Bronisław Komorowski will attempt during his visit to Berlin today, Friday, to revitalise the Weimar Triangle, a loose grouping of Poland, Germany and France. The last informal meeting between the heads of state of these three countries took place four years ago. The meeting highlights the growing importance of Poland within the EU, writes the liberal daily Gazeta Wyborcza: "The new head of state dreams of Poland restarting the EU's Franco-German motor, which hasn't been working lately. The triangle was created 19 years ago to aid Poland with its integration into Europe. Today the triangle is just a club where non-binding discussions take place because Germany and France prefer to talk between themselves. But we are becoming increasingly important for Europe, and next year we will hold the six-month rotating EU presidency."
