PKP Cargo has announced that effective November it will introduce transit service from Rzepin on the German border to Brest Litovsk in Belarus. Polkombi will manage the shipments provided that the rail authorities agree to share the losses that will be incurred at the beginning. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) The Hungarian MOL oil company, which placed an offer for the purchase of 17.58% stake in PKN Orlen, assured the Polish company that it will experience success cooperating with it in the petrochemical sector. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 11) The price of copper monopoly KGHM has been rising this month, up 17% since August 16.
