Polish Foreign Minister,  Jacek Czaputowicz, delivered speech on foreign policy tasks in 2018.

On the occasion referring to the EU he particularly noted: 

"The European Union is in a crisis that affects its institutions, axiology and external security. Even though the economies have recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, its political and social consequences continue to affect the nature of relations between European Union Member States, the role played by the European Union in the future of the European project.

The crisis of democratic procedures in Member States and the transfer of real decision-making processes to informal bodies have weakened the position of the European Union, have led to growing Euroscepticism and re-nationalisation of European states’ policies."
