Polish PM expresses commitment to battered euro after talks with Harper
OTTAWA - Poland's prime minister says his country remains committed to adopting the euro as its currency, despite the financial woes that threaten Europe.
Donald Tusk says Poland has coped well during the economic downturn and will continue to work with the European Union to strengthen the currency used by 17 of its 27 members.
Tusk says Europe's future depends on a common currency, despite the current political stalemate in Greece that has raised the possibility of its exit from the eurozone.
Tusk was speaking in Ottawa after a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Harper says it's up to European leaders — not him — to say whether Greece should be kicked out of the eurozone.
Canada and Poland agreed to an expanded energy partnership and signed a new tax convention during Tusk's visit.
