2011-07-08 Today the College of Commissioners are meeting with the Polish government in Warsaw. We are having a joint meeting but we will also have bilateral meetings. I will meet with the Minister of Interior Jerzy Miller, whom I know well. He has high ambitions for the Polish Presidency and he is dedicated to reach progress on the negotiations on the Common European Asylum System and on the strengthening of Schengen.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a much appreciated speech in the European Parliament last Wednesday, where he stressed the importance to stand up for Europe and European values and not to give in to populism and nationalism. It is not every day that we get to hear speeches like that from European leaders, and this speech was very encouraging.
