German–Polish Border Treaty
It was signed by the foreign ministers of Poland and Germany, Krzysztof Skubiszewski and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, on 14 November 1990 in Warsaw, ratified by the Polish Sejm on 26 November 1991 and the German Bundestag on 16 December 1991, and entered into force with the exchange of the instruments of ratification on 16 January 1992.This transferred extensive regions to Poland, some of which had been under German control for centuries, reducing Germany to approximately three quarters of the territory as of 1937.The Treaty of Zgorzelec of 1950 between East Germany and the People's Republic of Poland confirmed this border as final.In the ratification process at the Bundestag, the treaty met with 13 dissenting votes by deputies of the CDU/CSU faction, among them Erika Steinbach and Peter Ramsauer.[5] In 2006 the Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga, responding to the compensation claims raised by the "Prussian Trust" corporation, stated that the treaty was insufficient and may have to be renegotiated.
