"During the term of the Polish Presidency, we made considerable progress in respect of both the enlargement of the European Union and the deepening of integration. In September, we reached an agreement on the legislative ‘six-pack’ that serves for the deepening of EU economic governance. In December, the Accession Treaty of Croatia was signed, and a decision was adopted on the commencement of accession negotiations with Montenegro in the following year. I hope that in February, we will see a decision granting candidate status to Serbia as well. The Polish Presidency has been able to use the excellent professional preparatory work of the Hungarian EU Presidency as the foundation of its achievements. The Hungarian Presidency managed to reach a consensus on almost every aspect of economic governance, and it was also during the Hungarian Presidency that Croatia’s accession negotiations were concluded. With Hungary, it was the professional work that was successful, whereas the Poles demonstrated a clear commitment to the European Union. They did not make eurosceptic statements as Viktor Orbán did on multiple occasions. While the Polish Government aimed at national consensus in respect of the EU Presidency, a willingness to cooperate that could also be observed at Brussels fora, the Hungarian Government chose its term of EU Presidency to adopt a media law that restricts the freedom of speech and a new one-party basic law that prejudices the rule of law. The deteriorating international reputation of the Hungarian Government cast a shadow on the professional achievements of its Presidency."@en1
