All privatization was legal declares NIK

One of the ruling coalition parties, the League of Polish Families (LPR), presented a draft resolution calling on the government to annul privatization agreements where NIK had some doubts about. The draft received support from Self-Defense. NIK admits that it had concerns regarding the overwhelming majority of companies privatized, but the president of NIK, Jacek Jezierski, states that these were of various nature. "Our reservations often concerned the activities preceding privatization. In many cases there was no stable strategy for privatized sectors which led to chaotic sales. The Treasury Minister often did not specify the aims of the privatization and thus made it impossible to evaluate whether the desired effects were achieved," said Jezierski. He added that there are no grounds to annull any company privatized. "The decision belongs to politicians, but it is not simple. The only road goes through court but it needs to be proved first that the law was violated not only by state officials but also by the investor," stated Jezierski. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6-7) E.B.
