Polish president Lech Kaczynski, currently in France for a visit, said during an interview with French daily Le Figaro in its Friday edition that the EU Constitution has "no chance" of being ratified in Poland.

"This treaty has practically no chance of being ratified in Poland, neither by referendum, nor via the parliamentary route," he was quoted as saying.

"In any case, it should take reality into account, that is to say the differences between the members of the union as far as the levels of development are concerned as well as traditions and expectations," he said.

Underlining the central role of nation states, he said "what interests the Poles is what will come out of Poland, not the future of the union as a whole. It's the same in France."
