Morawiecki: deficit will not surpass 3%

Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Monday that Poland will amend its public procurement law to play down the price criterion and favor small and medium sized companies. "We want to include some components in this bill that will be in line with EU directives [regarding public tenders], combining the increase of innovativeness, decreasing the weight of price criterion and giving preference to small and medium companies," Morawiecki said. The minister also expressed his conviction that the European Commission's projections saying that the general government deficit will surpass three percent will not come true.
