Foreign policy (including sanctions other than import duty issues) still remains within the remit of individual member states. Which means that concensus needs to reached on such issues.<br /><br />What the solution is no one knows. And I guess as ever the French are still not willing to die for Gdańsk!Andrzej Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-43458211035156939542015-04-09T20:56:24.809+02:002015-04-09T20:56:24.809+02:00With the half hearted sanctions by the EU, it is t...With the half hearted sanctions by the EU, it is the Ukraine that gets the biggest economic hit.<br />Russia is still buying abroad and in the west: arranging new high speed rail connections to China and Kazhachstan. Fruit is exported via free trading partner Turkey, and the lists goed on and on.<br />The EU sanctions will be lifted soon without any solution for the East Ukraine or Crimea.<br />It shows the EU is all about the economic interests of a few countries, and nothing about democracy or peace.<br />The EU thinks the size of bananas is their business but the victoms of flight MH17 are not. They are not refered to as Europeans. Making money seems more important. The inheritence taxes are payed in euros though.<br />Earlier this week the Dutch government had to reveal they knew about Russia shooting down planes in the East of the Ukraine, as did other EU leaders.<br />Blaming Russia would have serius consequences and cost money, so our leaders decided to look away. The international press in Europe also seems not interested in publishing .<br />In the end, I’m afraid Russia will win, and Poland will be the alone again, as my Polish inlaws put it.<br />And because of the EU, maybe even without the USA.<br /><br />Best regards, Alexander<br />Alexandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-58644677081458144962015-04-09T18:30:09.931+02:002015-04-09T18:30:09.931+02:00No one seems to have any jajka - what has happened...No one seems to have any jajka - what has happened?<br /><br />We are going to get scrambled into an omelet by Putin.Bobnoreply@blogger.com
