EU commmitted to defence loan bill with Poland despite president's veto

BRUSSELS, March 13 (Reuters) - The European Commission is committed to continue with the loan agreement with Poland under the EU's Security Action for Europe (SAFE), a Commission spokesperson said on Friday after Poland's president had said he would veto legislation enacting the mechanism to spend 43.7 billion euros.

Earlier on Friday, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk already said Poland will use the European Union programme to fund defence despite the presidential veto of the scheme.
