Commissions look for delivery of 'commercial' PP

Yesterday the commissions accepted the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) deputies' motion concerning the necessity of commercializing the firm, which is currently a state owned enterprise. The motion's proposers argue that the move would enable the company to be more competitive on the postal services market. According to the motion, all the changes in the operator's ownership would require the approval by Sejm. At the moment, however, the government has no plans to sell shares in the restructured company. According to the deputy minister of infrastructure, Wojciech Hałka, the process of turning PP into a commercial company would enable capital to be raised more easily to further develop the firm.
