Poland should secede from the EU and reclaim her sovereignty.

I predict we will see more such lawsuits.

Nooooo....they should defy the rulings and let the EU expel them.The fireworks would be fun to watch!

What benefits does Poland derive from belonging to this so-called union?

Sharp reduction in polish jokes in EU comic shops.

What benefits does Poland derive from belonging to this so-called union?

There's at least the potential for Poland to benefit economically.Case in point...Ireland.When Ireland first joined the EU they were just about the most fiscally backward country in Europe.Today,Ireland is one of the most prosperous countries in the world.

Access to the Eurpoean marketplace for Polish goods and workers.

Well, of the top of my head I could tell you 80,000,000,000 reasons (aka. subsidy dollars). Plus: Lower unemployment, as Poles find jobs in the UK or Ireland while Poland has time to grow its economy. Access to the world's largest single market. Improved energy security as part of the EU.

Poland should secede from the EU and reclaim her sovereignty.

If Poland wanted to do that, I'd be the last person to have a problem with that. But EU membership benefits far outweigh the occasional hassle. That's why a referendum for or against EU membership would probably end 85% - 15% or so in favor of membership (can't find the recent poll on that matter I quoted a few weeks ago).

The thing is, that this case has nothing to do with the EU.

These two verdicts against Poland have been issued by the European Court of Human Rights, which is is an institution of the Council of Europe (based in Strasbourg), not affiliated with the EU at all.

It should be not confused with the European Court of Justice, which is the supreme court of the EU (based in Luxembourg City).

Eastern European ping list

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Eastern European ping list

[JoAnka]

Obviously, you are right.

The Tysiac v. Poland and Baczkowski v. Poland rulings were by the European Court of Human Rights and not the European Court of Justice. The two names have been confused in an article in the “Dziennik” daily, apologies for copying that mistake and the confusion that ensued.

[DLfromthedesert]

Thank you for the clarification. The fact remains, Poland is a Catholic country and should free itself from whatever entity seeks to overturn its laws.

(tremendous standing ovation)

[JoAnka]

The fact remains, Poland is a Catholic country

You don't have to be Catholic to be appalled by the Tysiac case - the wrongful birth suit. You don't have to be Catholic to oppose homosexual invasion on our culture. Any country, Catholic or non-Catholic, should stand up for the human right to life and the right to protect its people from the imposition of destructive social engineering.
