Morawiecki: Poland's contribution to Mercedes' factory negotiable

Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced that Poland's contribution to the Mercedes engine factory is still a matter of final talks, but he assured that the input won't be significant compared with the value of the investment. Morawiecki said that state support is always present with such investments. "It may involve tax exemptions in the special economic zones and this is the case here," Morawiecki said. He added that public aid wasn't the only factor on which Poland competed with other countries, naming highly-qualified staff as Poland's advantage. "People are the most important, also for an investor such as Mercedes," the minister said. On Wednesday, German car manufacturer Daimler AG announced that it will build a €500 million Mercedes Benz engine factory in Jawor, Poland.
