When "Brussels" gets it right
I was recently at an engineering conference in Nanjing and met up with a Polish colleague one evening for supper. The conversation turned to European politics and Britain's proposed withdrawal from the European Union. I mentioned that one of the problems that I saw was that national governments and national politicians tended to take credit for anything which was likely to be perceived positively by the general population and to blame 'Brussels' for anything negative, even if it had been agreed with other European governments at the Council of Ministers. My friend's reaction surprised me. A wide-eyed "Not just in Poland?" was his reply. Obviously he felt this to be a specifically Polish behaviour, rather than a more general problem across the whole EU. A 20-year old issue in the town of Schwalbach, where I live, illustrates how it happens - and on occasion can be countered.
