EC president sounds the alarm: Another state could come out of the EU

Tusk's statements come amid conflicts between the European Union and the party, Law and Justice from Poland, following efforts by the latter to reform the justice system.

The EU has also expressed concern about mass logging in the country.

The Polish government has rejected EU criticisms, and has refused to adhere to a European Court of Justice law to prevent logging.

These statements should be the beginning of signs Poland does not need the European Union. I'm afraid we're very close to this time of the”, Tusk told reporters.

Tusk has made these comments after being questioned for eight hours by Warsaw prosecutors, who are investigating the 2010 plane crash case in Smolenks, Russia.

The former president of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, and 95 others have died at this event.

Party leader, Law and Justice Jaroslaw Kaczynski has charged Tusk, who was the country's prime minister at the time, as responsible for the plane crash in which his twin brother, president Lech Kaczynski, died.

According to him, the crash of the plane was not the accident and charged Tusk with “moral responsibility” for his brother's death.

On 9 March, Tusk has been elected for the second time as president of the European Council, by EU leaders. /rel/
