The European Union responded in a right way for a crisis

Minister Sikorski underlined that the European Union reacted in the right way for a crisis. While the countries were protecting their own national interests, The European Union kept in mind the general interest. The European Union acting only as a whole, as one body will be treated seriously by other remarkable centres, such as United States. He also mentioned the EU Easter Partnership, he emphasized heat while building the south partnership took 10 years, the eastern was created in 18 months. One of the element of this partnership is the deep economic integration. He defended the idea of he double defense system based from one side on NATO and from the other on the European’s Union military system. Within the European one, there should be stronger synchronization of the national policies and the specialization within the whole system. Referring to the question about Afganistan and Polish presence there, he stated that our definition of the success there is quite limited, cause the iams which we defined are limited. We wish that the territory of the country wasn’t used by terrorists and the country was ruled by definitely democratic government.
