Deputy Economy Minister Freyberg dismissed
Only days after the recent reshuffles in the government, Prime Minister Leszek Miller has made further changes, dismissing Ewa Freyberg from the position of Deputy Economy Minister. Freyberg was responsible for preparation of the National Development Plan with the use of EU structural funds. Freyberg had succeeded in sending to Brussels an (already delayed) plan of effective use of EU subsidies, though it was severely criticized by deputies and economists alike. According to unofficial sources, Freyberg paid for failing to locate French automotive company PSA's investment in Radomsko. PSA eventually decided to move its capital to Slovakia. Freyberg will be replaced by Krystyna Gurbiel of the Office for European Integration (UKIE). (Puls Biznesu, p. 3) A.Z.
