Mr Morawiecki said it was difficult to talk about European security at the Munich Security Conference when most European countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation were not providing the organisation with the necessary resources to common defence.
The Polish Prime Minister also accused EU countries which fall short of the required budget contributions of being deluded “free riders pretending to be self-sufficient”.
He said: “It is hard to discuss European common security and defence policy when most of the European countries are not complying with the 2 percent obligation or recommendation on expenditure on defence in NATO and 20 percent of those on military improvement and military equipment.
“I think first we have to build, in the context of 29 nations of building NATO, a path on how to get to this 2 percentage points so that we don’t have those free riders who live under Pax Americana but pretend to be self-sufficient in the context of security.
“I feel very much pro-European, I would like to believe that we live under Pax Europaea but this is not the case.

“This was not the case for 70 years and this is still not the case today.
“So if we want to be more self-reliant and self-sufficient, we really have to cater for our security in a much better way.”
Last year, NATO revealed only five of the 29 member countries complied with the alliance goal of spending at least 2 per cent of their gross domestic product on defence in 2016.
They were Poland, Britain, Greece, Estonia and the USA.
Also speaking at the annual Munich Security Conference, Angela Merkel’s deputy Sigmar Garbler revealed Germany will refuse to achieve NATO’s defence spending target.
Mr Garbler claimed spending 2 percent of Germany’s GDP on NATO defence would result in more than €70 million per year.
He insisted Germany would be seeking to put the country’s defence budget towards a stronger European defence union.
