Ozarow's special economic zone still trying to get off the drawing board

The Cabinet today will decide on creating a special economic zone on the grounds belonging to Fabryka Kabli Ozarow (FKO) cable producer. The best way to achieve this might be to make the zone a sub-zone of the Tarnow Special Economic Zone. However, the biggest problem remains the lack of investors interested in taking over the ground and facilities belonging to Tele-Fonika Kable. On the other hand, sources close to the ongoing conflict around FKO claim that several investors, including shoe and foil package producers, have already expressed an interested in the idea. Once the decision about creating the special economic zone is made, investors will still have to wait a few weeks before the new regulation comes into force. Meanwhile, the protest of ex-FKO workers continues with few signs of the battle coming to an end soon. (Rzeczpospolita, B2) J.K.
