Gruszka likely to be chosen today as Sejm Orlen Commission chairman

Polish Peasants Party (PSL) deputy Józef Gruszka has the highest chances of being elected chairman of the Sejm committee which is to investigate the irregularities in PKN Orlen. The first meeting of the new body is scheduled for today. "We have not reached any final decision yet, but we should make it by Tuesday," said Ludwik Dorn, head of Law and Justice (PiS) Parliamentary Club. Gruszka has far bigger chances to win the post than Roman Giertych from the Polish Family League (LPR) due to the fact that he has been vetted and has access to classified information. However, this will limit the abilities of other deputies in the committee which have not been vetted, as they would need access to the confidential corporate information about Orlen. "Even with the goodwill of the Internal Security Agency these vetting procedures will take up to a month," said Zbigniew Wasserman from PiS. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M.
