This bulletin discusses the shift in the EU's development policy towards placing more emphasis on protecting the environment and support for democracy. The author then argues that this has positive implications for Poland as it brings the EU policy closer to Poland's position. He therefore recommends that Poland should strive to increase the aid budget gradually, to reach the level of average EU donors in the mid-term, prepare country strategy papers for priority partners, and focus more on results and outcomes in both planning and implementing aid.
