Poland's President Says Country Can't Accept EU Voting Proposal - by Marta Waldoch and Nathaniel Espino

Poland won't accept current proposals for a new treaty on European Union voting, Polish President Lech Kaczynski said today. Poland objects to a ``double majority'' voting system, part of the original EU constitution, that according to Kaczynski gives too much power to Germany, the region's most populous country.

``It's Poland that will lose the most'' on the proposal, Kaczynski said at a news conference after an energy summit in Krakow. The country doesn't want to ``overuse'' its veto, he said, adding no country would agree to lose its votes.
