The draft technical regulation on foreign workers has been politicized by Donald Tusk; there is a decision to suspend work on it, so as not to fuel political skirmishes, said European Affairs Minister Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk on Polish Radio’s third program.
Civic Platform head Donald Tusk posted a recording on his Twitter profile referring to the issue of migration policy.
We are watching shocking images of brutal riots in France – and right now (Deputy Prime Minister, PiS leader Jarosław – PAP) Kaczyński is preparing a document that will allow even more citizens from countries like, and I quote: Saudi Arabia, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Qatar will come to Poland, the Arab Emirates, Nigeria and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Tusk said.
Last year, Kaczyński brought more than 130,000 refugees from such countries. citizens – 50 times more than in 2015. These visas are easy and fast to obtain and are distributed by external companies because there are so many orders
said the leader of the PO.
Government spokesman Piotr Müller announced that the regulation facilitating the import of workers to Poland would rather not be considered.
Politicizing the labor issue
Szynkowski vel Sęk said that the regulation being prepared is purely technical in nature.
In those countries where there are relatively many applications and there are bottlenecks (…), solutions would be introduced whereby external companies could collect these applications and send them to the central authority in Warsaw, where consuls would, of course, handle them – civil servants. Yes, it must meet the safety criterion
he stressed.
It had to be some sort of improvement. Since it was used, politicized by Donald Tusk, as a desire to turn what is essentially a technical regulation into a political weapon, there is, as far as I know, a decision to suspend work on this regulation so as not to fuel to such political clashes
said the minister.
When asked about the number of 400,000 in the justification for the draft regulation, the conclusions explained that these are estimates.
It is not the government that writes the applications, they are written by the interested parties or employers
he stressed.
He added that many applications are rejected and there is additional verification for visa applications in addition to work permits.
A few percent of people get visas from those who originally applied for a work permit (PAP), so it’s a very scrupulous verification
– pointed to Szynkowski vel Sęk.
Systematic complaints
Asked about Polish complaints about the EU regulations of the Fit for 55 package regarding the reduction of emissions in the EU by at least 55 percent. by 2030 he announced that they would be submitted to the Court of Justice of the EU in the coming weeks.
We will complain about those provisions that have been introduced contrary to procedure or contrary to facts. In our view, some of these acts are simply against EU law
– he said.
Systematically – because it is a whole system of legal acts – complaints are currently being prepared, which will be submitted to the Court of Justice of the EU in the coming weeks
said the minister.
Accession negotiations with Ukraine?
When Szynkowski vel Sęk was asked about the recent statement by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, that it is necessary for the EU to address the issue of extending its structures to Ukraine and Moldova as soon as possible, he recalled that accession negotiations should begin by the end of the year.
The test of the veracity of these statements will be whether this will happen
he explained.
We will see by the end of the year, because by the end of the year a decision has to be taken on whether or not to open accession negotiations with Ukraine and, I hope, Moldova. This will be a test of the credibility of the European Union
he assessed.
The minister recalled that Poland is the country exerting the greatest pressure for such a decision.
If such a decision were taken, it would be a success for Poland and the candidate countries. I hope it will be possible by the end of the year
– he said.
