Support for EU hits record levels in Poland

Warsaw  -  Four years after European Union entry, Poles support the European bloc in record levels, a poll showed Friday.

The poll published in the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper showed that 88 per cent of Poles support EU membership, five per cent higher than in the previous survey.

Seven per cent said they were against EU membership while five per cent had no opinion.

Sixty-four per cent of those polled said Poland's entry into the EU in 2004 had brought advantages to the country while 43 per cent believed they had personally benefited from membership.

The poll showed the highest acceptance rate of the EU since 1994. It was carried out by the CBOS polling institute on April 11-14 and queried 1,101 Polish voters. (dpa)
