Cargill Milling to take government to court over quotas

American feed and isoglucose producer Cargill Milling is taking the Polish government to the court of arbitration for not fulfilling the provisions of its investment contract, the Government Information Center (CIR) announced yesterday. According to Cargill, inconsistent policies on production quotas, adopted by both the current government and its predecessor, led by Jerzy Buzek, have cost its Polish division $130 million. The main bone of contention is the radical cut in the isoglucose production quota to 57,800 tonnes below the company's maximum capacity. The new limit of 27,000 tonnes, agreed during EU negotiations, forces the company to reduce its investment on the market. The case is to commence in September. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,8) J.K.
