EADS-Casa 'motivated' to increase Polish investments

The company took control over and introduced numerous changes to aviation companies in Warsaw a few years ago, but it has delayed the execution of its offset obligations for some time. "The government decided to motivate the Spanish company even more," admitted Pawel Poncyljusz, Deputy Economy Minister. As a result, the government signed a new offset agreement with the investor on Monday, which was supplemented with 12 additional stipulations. "Additional production and service orders will most of all be directed at SME and R&D units," said Poncyljusz. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, B1) M.M.
