Germany and France want Poland to accept EU treaty
German and French leaders met with Poland’s president in talks that lasted into the early hours today, seeking to win support for a European Union treaty aimed at replacing a proposal for a constitution that failed two years ago.
The late night session came after both Poland and Britain threatened to exercise their vetoes to prevent plans to draft the treaty at a European Union summit, with Warsaw demanding more voting rights and London refusing to cede some powers to Brussels.
