In brief: PKP power loss; PPKS bus tender; Tyskie Society advertisement
As expected, the Gliwice power plant (GZE) has cut off electricity supplies
to Polish State Railways (PKP). The move follows the failure to find a
solution in talks on servicing PKP's debts to GZE. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. B1,
B2) ... Long-distance bus operator PPKS has announced a conditional tender
for the purchase of 120 buses, in preparation for its bid to provide bus
services in Warsaw. The company plans to find a financial partner to support
the transaction. (Puls Biznesu, p. 13) ... A new television advertising
campaign promoting the Tyskie Society is, experts suggest, a way of getting
round recently-introduced restrictions on the advertising of alcohol. The
advertisement is only slightly different from one used previously to promote
Tyskie beer. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 21) M.K.
