Biography

Academic

Dariusz Rosati is a graduate of international trade from Warsaw School of Economics and a professor of economics.

Supporter of a united Europe, he is the author of numerous publications on the European integration and the rector of Lazarski School of Commerce and Law in Warsaw (Wyższa Szkoła Handlu i Prawa im. Łazarskiego w Warszawie).

Political

1966-1990 he was a member of Polish United Workers Party (PZPR) and in the 1980s he was an economic adviser to Mieczysław Rakowski's government, the last communist regime in Poland. In the 1990s he was a supporter (but not a member) of the post-communist parties, first Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), and today Social Democratic Party of Poland (SDPL).

Dariusz Rosati was a co-founder and director of the Global Economy Institute (Instytut Gospodarki Światowej) and the Institute of Economic Situations and Prices (Instytut Koniunktur i Cen). He worked as an expert in various international organizations, including the economic commission of the United Nations in Geneva and adviser to the Chairman of the European Commission in Brussels.

He was the minister of foreign affairs in the cabinets of Józef Oleksy and Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz (both SLD), and recently he was a member of the Polish Council of Monetary Policies (Rada Polityki Pieniężnej).

In the European elections on 13 June 2004 he was a candidate of the SDPL in constituency No. 4 Warsaw and received 76,834 votes (11.94%). In 2014 he was once more elected to the European Parliament and joined the [1] (EPP) Group.[2] He represents the Lubuskie Region as well as Western Pomerania. He is a member of the ECON Committee as well as the PANA Committee, where he also serves at the EPP's Coordinator.

In 2009 he founded Alliance for the Future, however the party was very short-lived.

Alleged collaboration with communist secret service

In November 2007, the IPN (Institute of National Rembrance)[3] said that Dariusz Rosati was registered as a secret collaborator "candidate" and "protection" by the Ministry of Interior I Department and II Department. Later on he was registered as an operational contact. However, in July 2007 Dariusz Rosati has made a statement[4] in which he denied that cooperation went beyond sporadic contacts. His vetting (lustracja) declaration was approved by the Ombudsman of the Public Interest and prosecutor of the IPN.[5] Thus he was not a secret collaborator at any time during his life.
