Donbas seems set to challenge the Huta Częstochowa tender

"We will send a note to the Treasury Minister asking him about the price offer submitted by our competitor. We also want to know when his exclusive negotiation rights expire. We are surprised that we were not given this basic information. This creates the impression that the final stage of the tender is still unclear," said Oleksandr Pilipienko, deputy president of Donbas. Deputy Treasury Minister Stanisław Speczik replied that he would reveal the price if his lawyers consent, while negotiating rights were granted until the end of April. Representatives of Donbas said that this is a too long period of time to grant exclusive rights and virtually ends the whole story. However, they stressed they will look into the offer after it becomes public and threatened to take the issue to court if the tender turned out not to be fair. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
