(23 Nov 2017) French President Emmanuel Macron and Poland's prime minister took a first, key step Thursday toward mending differences that are weighing on the whole European Union.
After talks in Paris, the two leaders remained at odds over their main dispute - workers from Eastern Europe posted by their employer in richer EU countries - but said they were looking for compromise.
"I would like to declare full engagement and willingness to cooperate in all further works on the mobility package which will determine the regulations governing the delegation of road transport workers," Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said.
"I believe we will be able to find common ground in order to achieve a balanced compromise."
The two also discussed defence cooperation and armaments, the future of the EU after Britain leaves the 28-member bloc, and Poland's concerns over Russia's plans for a second gas pipeline on the Baltic Sea bed
Ties between the two nations have been tense after Poland cancelled a major deal to purchase French-made helicopters and Macron criticised Szydlo's government and bypassed Poland during a visit to the region in the summer.
