The European Union is highly unlikely to fund a Polish ultra-nationalist 
Catholic radio station which is infamous for its anti-Semitic 
programming, a European Union official said Monday.

The chances that the controversial Polish radio station Radio Maryja 
would get EU funding for the expansion of a journalism school are 
"close to zero," a European Commission spokesman in Israel said.

The school was on a list of 350 projects that Warsaw had 
recommended receive EU funding.

The 15.5 million Euros in EU funding was to have been part of regional 
funding that the EU offers to all 27 member states, especially those that 
joined the EU in 2004.

The ultra-nationalist Catholic radio station, which is a strong supporter 
of the conservative Polish government, has a long record of anti-
Semitic broadcasts.

After reports over the potential funding to the controversial station 
surfaced, European Commission President Jose' Manuel Barroso 
made clear that all projects that get EU funding would have to conform 
to "European values."

A new clause states that beneficiaries must offer "masters or PhD-level 
qualifications" and have "international educational standards" verified 
by "objective rankings."

The issue comes just weeks after Israel and American Jewish groups 
urged the Polish government to act following the most recent anti-
Semitic remarks by the powerful head of the radio station, Father 
Tadeusz Rydzyk.

Rydzyk reportedly accused the Jews of greed in a potential government 
compensation deal on confiscated property, and denounced Polish 
President Lech Kaczynski as a "fraudster who is in the pockets of the 
Jewish lobby."

Last week, the head of the Center of Organizations of Holocaust 
Survivors in Israel urged the European Union not to offer the station any 
financial support.
