Karpiński wants hydrocarbon law draft ready in Q1

Treasury Minister Włodzimierz Karpiński would like the government to approve the draft of the special hydrocarbon law in the first quarter of 2015, he told the Polish Press Agency in an interview. “Work on the regulation is going forward. We are close to reaching an agreement with the environment minister,” Karpiński said. He added that even when environmental issues are included, the new regulation will make things easier for investors active on the Polish hydrocarbon market. It should reduce the time needed to obtain necessary permissions.
