History

Historical Context

Poland’s path to the EU began with a 1989 trade agreement, progressed through accession negotiations launched in 1998, and culminated in membership on 1 May 2004. After signing the 2007 Reform Treaty and joining Schengen that December, Poland received €17.4 billion in EU funds in 2014. Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s 2026 New Delhi visit builds on this integration legacy to expand Poland’s role in EU-India cooperation.
