2/3 of the European Parliament voted for a resolution calling for stronger action against tax-dodging via foreign countries. It is not clear to what extent European countries will follow this. The EU is not really very democratic, and its role in adopting real directives is rather weak. However, a 2/3 majority could at least override pressures from the European Commission and the Council of Ministers.

Poland is headed for a confrontation with the EU about whether the EU courts are superior to Polish courts, as the EU requires of member countries.

I think the EU have to expel Poland rather than allow it to act as a member only in the ways that it finds convenient.

The EU has fundamental shortcomings: its lack of democracy and the Euro banking system which forces countries into depressions by denying them deficit spending.

However, what the Polish government wants is not improvements, but rather the chance to make things worse.
