Both Poland and the UK share an understanding of the benefits of EU enlargement. We can see how the European continent has been transformed over the past 50 years by the EU.

In those countries aspiring to become EU Member States, the reforms necessary are improving the lives of their citizens and helping to realise our vision of a European future for the region.

The Embassy EU/Economic team works with other Embassy colleagues to maintain a close relationship with Poland, including on EU Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy.
