The EU concedes to Polish demands, heralds Rzeczpospolita, commenting the just concluded Brussels EU summit.

Press reviewed by Agnieszka Bielawska.

The Polish mission had been at least partially fulfilled, the daily goes on. The Polish Premier struck a bargain granting him two months to convince member states that the European Union cannot force methods of reducing CO2 emissions, which could lead to a surge of energy prices thus heralding a catastrophe for the economy, especially among the less prosperous EU states. That was the government’s aim during the summit and  apparently it was fulfilled  the daily goes on.

This success apart, Rzeczpospolita goes on, the summit will largely be remembered as the arena of confrontation between the Polish head of state and the Prime Minister. Poland’s president insisted on attending the summit, despite the Premier’s protests, and the question for many remains, what exactly was Lech Kaczynski doing at the summit, writes  Rzeczpospolita.
 
‘12 thousand bugs’ alarms Dziennik. According to the daily the present government has not significantly reduced the right for wire tapping. The police and special services are surveilling almost 12 thousand Polish citizens annually! According to the daily’s informers, the number of bugs and tapped phones is not dependant upon the ruling political parties. The daily writes that the most commonly used are phone bugs, but there were also cases like during the burial ceremony of the chief of Poland’s police Marek Papala, the  casket was bugged since the police was hoping the mourners could provide some vital information for the investigation in the killing of Papala.
 
Gazeta Wyborcza writes that boring lessons release aggression. The daily quotes alarming statistics proving that primary schools are now in the lead of school mobbing and violence. Sociologists claim, writes the daily, that aggression is on the rise where lessons are conducted in a traditional lecture type method. The kids are bored and their cumulated energy has to find a  retreat, which primarily takes the form of aggression. It would be best if schools and local authorities started taking such research very seriously, writes the daily, and find means through which the cumulated aggression could be vented. More sports facilities, more organised after- school activities could be the answer, writes the daily quoting the sociologists who give examples of American high schools and colleges.
 
Coming back to the Brussels EU summit, the  disagreement over the government plane and the final arrival of the head of state on a chartered plane of the national air carrier the Superexpres presents a scrupulous bill showing just how much the trip cost. 150 thousand zloty (42 000 euro) for the chartered Boeing ,writes the daily, adding that Brussels hosted a  very costly double top delegation from Poland, which unfortunately was taken at the expense of the  average Polish taxpayer.
