“We in Poland are convinced that the accession process does not require additional institutional changes or reforms from the European Union,” Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said in Berlin.
A ministerial conference of EU countries on EU enlargement policy and institutional reforms is taking place in Berlin. Poland is represented by Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau.
This conference is taking place at a very dangerous time. We will talk about many things, including the accelerated accession of the Western Balkan countries. We will also talk about Ukraine, but also about Moldova
Rau told reporters.
The legal framework lies in the treaties
We in Poland are convinced that the accession process does not require additional institutional changes or institutional reforms from the European Union. The legal framework provided, now enshrined in the Treaties, is absolutely sufficient to implement the enlargement process. Moreover, we are convinced that the principle of unanimity guarantees the strong support of every candidate country that wants to become part of the European Union.
– he emphasized.
The Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs was also asked about Georgia’s accession to the EU.
Georgia is also waiting, but as far as I know and remember, some, let’s call it elements, of Georgia’s foreign policy need to be adjusted so that everything is in accordance with the international legal order.
– added.
He pointed out that “Georgia has made significant progress in the area of the rule of law, but we still have certain expectations towards Georgia, especially when it comes to certain political matters, such as the future and the future of former President Saakashvili (Mikheil ). Saakashvili, former president of Georgia), his health condition, etc., these are things that are important to us, so we need to improve some things.”
I am convinced that Georgia deserves a warm welcome into the European family
