Warsaw - The Polish Farm Minister, Mr Jacek Janiszewski, resigned from his post yesterday following last week's publication of a report that linked an agency he had headed to financial irregularities. Mr Janiszewski submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister, who still has to decide whether to accept it and whom to put in charge of difficult agricultural reforms, the key aspect of Poland's effort to join the European Union.
Mr Janiszewski, who denies any wrongdoing, quit after leaders of his Peasant Conservative Alliance, a faction of the coruling Solidarity bloc, withdrew support for him.
