Deadlock surrounding Ożarów factory site appears to be broken

An unexpected meeting took place in the Economy Ministry yesterday which tackled the future of the recently closed cable plant in Ożarów. The discussion was attended by Economy Minister Jerzy Hausner and owner of Tele-Fonika Bogusław Ciupał, who for some time have been in conflict. The meeting has been kept secret and no one has confirmed it officially. According to Gazeta Wyborcza, Hausner and Ciupał discussed the issue of developing lands on which the former cable plant was located and which belong to the cable producer. "In my opinion the deadlock between the two parties has been broken," Telefonika spokesperson Jerzy Jurczyński said yesterday. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 18) A.Z.
