On the eve of Poland’s five year anniversary of joining the EU, 77 percent of Poles are satisfied with being a member of the 27 nation bloc - according to a poll by the Gfk Polonia. Also 67 percent of respondents, especially the young, support the idea of EU enlargement.
According to the survey, Poles like the EU as it is and do not support great changes. Almost half of the respondents do not want a common EU government and 57 percent oppose the idea of a common president. Forty nine percent want the Lisbon Treaty to be introduced and 63 percent think it should refer to Christian values in the preamble.
Danuta Isler talked to Varsovians to find out what, in their view, are the benefits of Poland’s five year membership in the EU and who, in their eyes, benefitted the most.
