Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has delivered a three-hour-long policy speech to the Parliament as Poland .pl reports in wich he laid out a vision for the country that includes more capitalism — privatization, tax cuts and simplifying business laws — to bolster the economy of this ex-communist country. First of all Donald Franciszek Tusk is a conservative-liberal Polish politician, co-founder and chairman of the Civic Platform (Platforma Obywatelska), and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland enjoying sweet political revenge against the conservative Kaczynski twins who defeated him in Polish elections in 2005.

Tusk was officially designated the Prime Minister on November 9 and took office on November 16. However, his cabinet still needs to win the vote of confidence in the Sejm. The motion for such voting has been moved on November 23, 2007 but the voting itself - due to a long debate - has been postponed for November 24, 2007.He said his government’s liberal economic policy would be accompanied by a social policy based on solidarity. He promised pay rises for public sector workers.
He also pledged to lower taxes, speed up privatisation and reduce the budget deficit. The prime minister called on the central bank to conduct policies supporting high economic growth, ensuring that inflation remains at a low level.

So in his speach he said that Poland could adopt the euro in five or six years from now.
In his address the Prime Minister also spoke about his determination to fight corruption and restore people’s confidence in the government. He stressed that under his government the preparations for hosting the Euro 2012 tournament would be completed on time.

The Prime Minister said he would consult the opposition on all issues relating to Poland’s foreign policy in an effort to build a consensus in this sphere. He expressed the hope that the President would support the government’s diplomatic actions.

Mr Tusk said he would sign the E.U. reforming treaty, at the same time joining Britain in a protocol limiting the application of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. Such a stand, taking into account the views of the previous government, would pave the way for the ratification of the reforming treaty, the Prime Minister said.
