The European Union is undergoing a period of “difficult growing up”. Many factors contribute to it. The two most significant ones are the following: developing a most important endeavour, commonly called “going deeply and enlarging”; counteracting the effects of Iraq war which became the catalyst of relations between the UN Security Council members and the transatlantic countries, in particular between the NATO and EU members and candidates. Somebody has put it right that if Saddam Hussain had managed by provoking the war to unable achieving the mentioned above endeavours, he could have acknowledged that he reached his goal. Fortunately we have almost overcome these antagonisms. Many facts prove it, among others the UN Security Council decision of 21 May 2003 granting wide authorities to the United States and Great Britain as the powers that occupy Iraq and have the right to manage its crude oil resources. A similar decision was also taken by NATO Council that stated that NATO military authorities are promptly to advise Poland which requested to support our stabilisation forces activities' in Iraq. The American ambassador in NATO structures said that “today's resolution, i.e. univocal decision (France and Germany including), proves overcoming the divisions in NATO and the EU”. Taking this in consideration and as in the proverb saying “Forewarned is forearmed”, I think it is worth reminding the basic European Union’s principles in order to take into account the fact that our country as the EU candidate which is also in “difficult growing up” period, could overcome the difficulties more easily.
