30 mei 2008 | Polen heeft een veto uitgesproken over de start van Barroso's 'vlaggeschip-project', het EIT. Niettemin lijkt het inmiddels zeker dat dit instituut in Boedapest gevestigd gaat worden.
The Slovene EU presidency has said two criteria should be respected – the winner should be a “new” member state and not already have an EU agency. Based on these two requirements, only Budapest has a real chance of winning the seat. Poland already houses Frontex, the EU agency responsible for the security of the bloc’s external borders. According to one diplomat 26 out of the 27-nation bloc backed Hungary’s bid, but the Polish delegation insisted that it had no mandate to approve a final deal. [bron: EUobserver]
