Government accuses European Commission of violations in Unicredito affair

In its official reply to the European Commission, the government claims that "some activities of the Commission" violate the treaty establishing the European Community and "the rule of governance". The Treasury stressed in its letter that UniCredito did not refer in its proceedings with the European Commission to the privatization agreement of Pekao SA, which prohibited the investor of being involved in activity that is competitive with Pekao on the Polish market. Refusing the right to question this obligation, according to the Treasury, "undermines respect for the rule of the legitimacy of the state". (Parkiet, p. 1; Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
