The European Union must face the geopolitical and economic challenges of the present day. According to Tomasz Wróblewski, the president of WEI, it is doing this ineptly, as evidenced by the increasing distance between the EU and the USA. - We still have a frozen political system in the EU, the German-French axis remains dominant. Initially, the EU project was a reaction to the defeat of the colonial wars and an attempt by the great European powers to create a new mechanism that would guarantee their strength and position. However, the world has changed, and so has the balance of economic power in the EU. None of the founders of the EU predicted the fall of the USSR and the future accession of Eastern European countries. And Germany and France would like everything to remain the same from the point of view of decision-making in the EU, but their position is actually getting weaker - argues Tomasz Wróblewski in the latest Conversations by Sebastian Stodolak. Tomasz Wróblewski also believes that the European Union has a problem with overregulation and bureaucracy, which it cannot cope with. All previous EU deregulation commissions have failed because even if they defined the problem well, parallel ideas appeared that increased bureaucracy, such as climate policy packages or ESG.
