Kwasniewski shared his view that the more developed, founding EU members in Western Europe – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg and the Netherlands – will quicken their process of integration.
He said that other members of the Euro zone will be in the second tier, while EU members like Poland that still have their own currencies will integrate even more slowly.

If the Framework gains a foothold in EU law, it could enable the Commission to assert control over member states’ justice systems as well as their human-rights and antidiscrimination laws.

The government is targeting Polish expatriates like Jacek Ambrozy. After arriving in the U.K. in 2005, he started his own business, IBB Polish Building Wholesale, selling construction materials that he imports from Poland. Post-Brexit, Ambrozy has two problems: worried Polish employees and a worsening exchange rate that he says is costing him £2,400 a week.
“The unwelcome climate will for sure limit the number of new immigrants,” he said. “And some immigrants might decide to go back to Poland.”
Ambrozy said he plans to open a warehouse in Poland next year to build his business there “just in case.” One of his 12 Polish employees in the U.K. called him the day after the referendum asking if he could get his salary paid in advance.
“I asked him why and he said, ‘Because now anything can happen,’ ” Ambrozy said. “He was really frightened.”
