In Brief: Laziska & GZE; Polskie Tatry sale; France Telecom & TPSA

Laziska Steel Mill has submitted a protest to the Energy Regulation Office (URE), accusing Gornoslaski Zaklad Energetyczny (GZE) of charging unfair prices. The URE decision will be critical for the mill, since GZE has cut off its electricity supply, citing the failure to pay its bills. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) ... The Treasury Ministry has begun looking for a privatization adviser for the sale of a stake in Polskie Tatry, the company managing the former government guest houses in Zakopane. The ministry plans next year to sell up to 61% of shares in Polskie Tatry, which employs nearly 130 workers. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 4) ...
