Interview: Poland is seeking EU Treaty changes(its all about self interest)

"Poland’s newly appointed Permanent Representative to the EU, Ambassador Jan Tombiński, explains his country’s position on EU institutional reforms, the Russian ban on Polish meat, the Baltic pipeline and the EU's future prospects, 50 years after the Treaty of Rome was signed."

Question:President Kaczyński recently announced that he would put forward proposals for a Polish contribution to the EU Constitution. What will be the main elements of this proposal?"A major point of concern is the question of double majority in the voting system, even if the system is rarely applied in practice; however, this is the very core of the institutional change.Poland was granted a strong position by the Treaty of Nice, which is not reflected by the new voting system.
