EU education for bureaucrats? Why not cash in on it?
According to the result of a government inspection of European training courses for state officials, which were organized by the Office of the European Integration Committee (UKIE), it turned out that they there were a large number of irregularities. These included ones related to documentation, bad recruitment and far too high costs. The courses were virtually monopolized by the Łódź-based European Studies Foundation. What was of even more interest was that the unique position of the Institute was thanks to an agreement signed by the then director of UKIE, Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, who later became a member of the Foundation's governing council.
