Today, the most important political instrument in the hands of the opposition is the presidential veto.

The government has been repairing Poland's image and its relations with the European Union and the world.

In Poland we still believe - and this certainly applies to my government - that greater competitiveness, and greater growth and savings are possible in an economy which is as sparely regulated as possible, where freedom, competition and private ownership are key values.

I will be engaging myself personally, as the head of the Polish government, in the optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas.

Poles must understand history but we must also overcome it if it is obstructing our contemporary goals.
