Foreign Minister says Mexico offers great opportunity for businesses

Foreign Minister Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz who met Mexico's President Vincente Fokse Quesada during his official visit to Mexico last week, said that entry into the EU will boost business on the Mexican market. "It is a great opportunity for our businesses. Polish products are subject to high duties and therefore lose out to other EU members who take advantage of duty-free access to the Mexican market. He added that decreases in exports to Mexico in recent years was a cause for concern. "There are many potential areas where, we could expand exports. Mexico is a country where we can do excellent business even if that involves exporting one product, for example powdered milk. Mexico imports gigantic amounts of powdered milk whereas powdered milk exported by Poland accounts for only 1/10th of its market capacity," said Cimoszewicz. (www.onet.pl) A. Z
