WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE EURO CURRENCY TO POLAND?

germanic smartness

If they were that smart they wouldn't have agreed to the whole thing to begin with

I love the Mediteranean countries.. just stop f.ucking around , letting people retire at 38 or whatever. You'll be fine.

If they were that smart they wouldn't have agreed to the whole thing to begin with.

EUROPE .. on the other hand. Good things too, but the German voter will get tired of the Euro, eventually. It's just commonsense. Look man, you think your people are going to want to bail out Portugal? Whoever else? No.. they wont. Who cares.. Death of the Euro will dramtically lower prices , pick up consumption, which will help your economies.

Yeah....look at Germany...we really suffer!

The problem in mediteranean countries is deep and has historic roots

Nahh, not about suffering.. it's about being the friend that has to pick up the bill at the restaurant. That friends grows tired of it.

. I give the EU 8 - 9 years.

You are emotionally tied to the Euro, Bratwurst? Never a good idea.

Oh and since Germany retook her natural place on the top in Europe

You see.. this statement alone is the reason the rest of Europe will resist your hegemony over them.

You just typified what they fear most.. the loss of their identity as Poles, Greeks, French, English, Italian, Slovenian.. on and on.

You don't have that many problems.

Poland has greatly benefited from its integration to mainland EU. Twenty years ago, the deeply Catholic country was largely agricultural and considered backward and provincial, a millstone around Europe’s neck. Since then, however, Poland has experienced an almost nonstop boom.

Germany and Poland have drawn closer as the EURO crisis hit over the last 24 months. Poland was among the first to extend its support to EU fund to save Greece. Warsaw and Berlin are both committed to economic austerity. The Polish constitution includes a debt limit, and the banking sector is subject to strict controls that largely prevented Poles, unlike the Hungarians and those in some Baltic states, from borrowing in foreign currencies.

The Merkel administration in Berlin hopes that Poland will become its ally in the conflict with the spendthrift southern countries in the Euro Group. This suits Warsaw’s ambitions. In July, Poland will assume the chairmanship of the European Council for the first time, in the expectation that it will finally be able to cooperate on equal terms with Europe’s big players.

“I am a fan of the European Union,” says Wroclaw Mayor Dutkiewicz, who shares the sentiments of many Poles — a people who could very well be the biggest champions of the European idea on the continent. “We have managed to derive maximum benefits from our membership,” says Dutkiewicz.

Yeah, one or two Greek restaurants here in Dubs would not be out of place. Can you believe that in a city of nearly two million ppl, there is not ONE single Greek restaurant? Yeah, there is one in Malahide, but that's about 20 km outside of Dublin...It's really a disgrace. Have to say that when I first came here, I was stunned by the lack of variation for a big city like Dublin: in a radius of about one mile from my home there are, give or take, 50 Chinese restaurants and they all offer the same menu (ALWAYS combined with Thai, how boring - I like Thai food, but pls bring some more choice), about 25 pizzerias with nearly the same menu, 15 Indian joints with the inevitable chicken tikka and one dozen of chippers where they throw in half a litre of vinegar into your fries. And that is about the choice you have in Dublin. There are 1 or 2 Spanish restaurants, 1 Mexican restaurant and maybe 5 or 6 restaurants of another type of cuisine, but it's always freaking Chinese, Indian, Italian or Irish...So boring :( Sometimes I wonder how all these restaurants survive here...

Do not underestimate the germanic smartness.They know exactly how much they have to type to keep you in a constant four leg positon.

The problem is that Europe is largely fragmented to places with completely different traditions and customs.

Oh and since Germany retook her natural place on the top in Europe you can take it from me that as long as that stays that way and Germany profits from the EU/the EURO both are going to stay too, fact! ;)
