Government unveils zł.5.7 billion plan to build roads, 200 km of highway
Out of the total amount designated for the construction of roads, zł.1.7 billion will be designated for highways, which would mean that 200 km of such roads would be completed. Expenditures on express roads will stand at zł.2.1 billion with the priority being the construction of the road from Szczecin to the southern border and from Kunica to Rzeszów. During a press conference scheduled for today, the Prime Minister will present the program of constructing roads until 2013. During Wednesday's session, the government accepted a plan envisaging the partial reimbursement of the excise tax on heating oil used in agricultural production, which will cost the budget zł.650 million. The Cabinet also accepted a convergence plan which envisages that by 2007 Poland will not limit it's budget deficit to 3% of GDP. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B2) M.M.
