The article discusses the impact of the accession of Poland to the European Union on its economic situation and legal system, after seven years of membership. In the overall balance of benefits and disadvantages, the predominant effects are positive. They resuit, in particular, from the participation of Poland in the european internal market, from the financial transfers from the EU budget to the budget of this Member State, as well as from the inflow of foreign direct investment. The requirement to adapt Polish legislation to the acquis communautaire also led to rapid modernization of Polish legal system. However, the article also describes disadvantages of the accession of Poland to the EU and the problems with ensuring effectiveness of the EU law in the national law. The analysis also shows that Poland did not take advantage of all benefits of its participation in the European integration. | ||
