The EU's open door

"The intransigence with regards to national interests in the debate about the new constitution, the games played by the Kaczynski brothers over the past few days and the general conditions for the drawing up of the new document - all these problems have no doubt convinced many veterans in Brussels that the EU enlargement of 2004 came too soon", writes Bojana Rozic. "The confrontation, which is increasingly taking the shape of a Polish-German dilemma, has escalated this week as a result of certain remarks made by leading Polish politicians that border on bad taste and recall the kind of dialogue Putin employs in Brussels. In view of all this, a number of leading European politicians, in particular Angela Merkel, must be wishing someone would simply turn around and say to Poland, Great Britain and the other Eurosceptics: 'Well there's the door'. The European Union can no doubt get along fine without them."
