Chinese to build Euro stadiums and metro at half price?
The Minister thus sent a clear message to European investors bidding in tenders to construct football stadiums for the Euro 2012 football championships that they may soon forget about their contracts in Poland, accusing them of "conspiracy and greed."
Instead, Poland is likely to hire Chinese companies for half the price. "I will do my utmost to make sure that Poland does not succumb to the price dictatorship exercised by European companies who have made secret arrangements on how to milk the Polish state," Drzewiecki said after his visit to the Beijing Olympic Games.
Drzewiecki claimed that European bidders for Euro 2012 investments want two to three times as much as they would normally charge other European countries. "When [the Chinese] found out that we annulled a tender for the construction of a second metro line in Warsaw and announced a new bid, they said they would be glad to do it for half the price offered in bids submitted by Western companies," Drzewiecki said.
