I always find amusing "Eurosceptics" who cite Norway and Switzerland as examples, which are simply wealthier countries due to historical and geological conditions - we can't change that. If we really wanted to compare what Poland would look like without the European Union, I suggest taking a look at Belarus, Ukraine, and the Balkan countries - I was there this year and it's clear to see the difference between EU-member Croatia and Bosnia or Serbia. I'm not propagating anything; traveling really educates, so I recommend it. And most importantly - Norway and Switzerland implement a lot of EU laws and regulations in order to participate in the common European market. And that without a vote when it's being decided. Equating the European Union with Europe is fundamentally institutionally incorrect, but if we look at how things really are, we'll find that it's not such a bad estimation after all. (translated)
