Employers association report warns that obstacles to business are growing

According to the document, conditions for running a business in Poland have substantially deteriorated and it now includes roughly 100 bad regulations. "We gave it to the government and will soon present a copy to Parliament. The state is aggressively acting against entrepreneurs, while the Polish economy is among the weakest in the EU. The business climate has to be improved in order to facilitate the development of domestic businesses and attract foreign investors," warned Henryka Bochniarz, president of PKPP. The top 10 worst regulations apply to VAT laws, while the following 10 positions are occupied by those relating to corporate and personal income tax regulations. Other impediments high on the list are construction laws and barriers in acquiring structural funds from the EU. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) M.M.
