With 2000 EU officials earning more than the UK Prime Minister, Polish politicians are hoping that they too can fleece taxpayers from across Europe.
Danuta Huebner managed to make her fortune that way, having gained her position through the usual 'family and friends' route.
On a wider note, the promised reform of the Common Agricultural Policy might still get blocked by France, with Polish help. I suppose I shouldn't complain too much, seeing as I benefit from an agricultural subsidy myself.
Poland has been lucky with the EU so far - especially in not being in a position to make the mistake of joining the now-doomed euro. The euro itself might continue to exist, but not with its present members.
