Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Germany: Harassment at the German-Polish border

langue=uk&publication=27/02/2008&cat=LOCAL+COLOURS&pi=0

Andrzej Krasnicki reports that motorists have been harassed on both
sides of the German-Polish border in recent days. It started with the
German police imposing fines against Poles for below-standard first aid
boxes. The Polish police then punished German drivers for not having
fire extinguishers, which are required in Poland. Says
Krasnicki, "Today, if residents of Swinoujscie want to visit Germany,
they take along a well-equipped German first-aid kit. These are selling
like hot cakes in the markets on the border, with a price tag of 6
euros. On the other side, German Federal Police inspect the contents
with embarrassing precision. Before he knows it, the Polish driver is
drowning in fines of 10 to 50 euros, for failing to have thermo foil,
for having bandage scissors of the wrong size, or for a missing first-
aid box, which is not required in Poland."

The polish first aid box has, a bandage, plaster, safety pin a bit of rubber tube. Not sure what the tube is for though.
