Summary/Abstract: The year 2005 was the first full year of Poland’s membership in the European Union. After the first moments of euphoria ending many years of efforts aimed at incorporating Poland into the group of EU members, the time came to undertake activities to ensure Poland’s place in the group which would correspond to its political potential. The year was of major importance for Polish society, which in spite of the generally favourable attitude to Poland’s membership in the EU, demanded a clear confirmation—as opposed to mere declarations—that benefits from membership were considerable and that Poland would use effectively the opportunities and possibilities offered by the membership.
