Prime Minister Donald Tusk is having talks in Paris today with President Nicolas Sarkozy and his French counterpart Francois Fillon, just four weeks before the beginning of Poland’s six-month presidency of the EU Council. |
The talks include the 27 nation bloc’s long-term budget and enlargement prospects. Poland and France do not see eye-to-eye on the EU budget for the 2014 - 20 period. France, alongside Germany, Britain and Sweden – net payers to the budget – are for decreasing its size, whereas Poland, one of the net beneficiaries, would like the bloc’s budget the remain at the present level.The situation in North Africa and the current problems of the Schengen free-travel zone are also to be taken up in the talks.
President Sarkozy recently called for a temporary resumption of border controls to check an influx of migrants from outside the EU.
