Business, the EU and France

This week, it seems that there is an EU referendum, some sort of major meeting in Brussels. It appears that there is a large debate/issue between Poland and Germany in the EU government. Poland is not happy, arguing with Germany over some issue, even bringing up World War II as the reason why their population is low!

Seems like the EU is not as united as they appear outside of the continent. Britain is supporting Poland, and the previous road blocker, France, is working with Germany to try to resolve issues… Quite an interesting union, treaties and various issues that each country tries to fight for, or threatens to withdraw from the union to get what they want. Lots of compromises…

Apparently the issue is to do with foreign job policies & powers of the government. Poland is afraid that since they have a smaller population, they will end up losing out since Germany has a larger population that they can export. They are also afraid that since their government does not have a constitution, that the EU constitution will end up overriding their rights. Britain is afraid that the foreign policies and social security systems will be overridden by the EU systems.
