Expenditure rule in Poland bothers EC

The European Commission sees some reason for concern about circumventing the expenditure rule in Poland, Reinhard Felke, Director of National Reports, Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission said.

At the end of February, the EC assessed in its report that a stabilizing expenditure rule remains the basis of Poland's fiscal framework, but was weakened by recently implemented expenditure programs that are not subject to the rule.
