New rules on winning EU subsidies will not help domestic entrepreneurs

The decision was supported by the Finance Ministry, the Economy Ministry and the Public Procurement Office, but was rejected by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, which will be responsible for managing such subsidies. This increases the likelihood that entrepreneurs will not seek to use large amounts of the aid as this move by the ZPKIE would complicate the process of obtaining them and increase their costs. The government is currently introducing barriers to the funds, although such barriers are not obligatory according to either domestic or EU regulations. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 19) M.M.
