No clear break in deadlock over Offset investments in sight

Just over a week ago the Sejm rejected an Economy Ministry report concerning the way Lockheed Martin is carrying out its obligations. "We are negotiating with the American company the possibility of widening, exchanging or introducing new projects. It is necessary to cancel from the basic list those projects which are impossible to fulfill. The reasons lay on both sides," said Krzysztof Krystowski, Deputy Economy Minister. Currently, the provider of Offset deals is presenting sums invested in executed projects which vastly differ from that claimed by the government. The Offset Committee accepted investments worth $700 million, while LM declares it would implement projects worth $800 million by the end of the year. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) M.M.
