(MENAFN) Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Friday called for “full respect” following remarks from US Ambassador Tom Rose, who sharply attacked the EU’s Omnibus package introduced under Poland’s leadership of the bloc during the first half of 2025.

At a press briefing, Tusk said, as reported by general outlets, that Poland remains a dependable partner to the US, but expects proper treatment from American officials. "I have only one comment or one request. Poland is a very loyal ally. We are smaller than the United States, but perhaps that is why ... we will always expect full respect and respect from all representatives of the United States," he stated.

Tusk defended the Omnibus package, describing it as a significant achievement meant to streamline administrative rules for companies and scale back complex EU sustainability reporting obligations. He suggested that the ambassador misunderstood the measure, saying "The ambassador probably mistook the directive for an earlier regulation."

His remarks followed Rose’s claim on a US-based social media site that the initiative is "targeted at killing jobs, stifling innovation, and triggering a wave of American companies fleeing Europe." Rose argued that if the package becomes law, "the damage to American investments in Europe will be enormous," adding that President Donald Trump is monitoring developments “closely.”

Rose also urged Warsaw to lead a Europe-wide pushback, stating that "By stepping into the role of proud leader and spearheading an uncompromising, pan-European opposition to this bureaucratic monstrosity, Poland can stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump in defense of economic growth, competitiveness, and common sense."
