PKP gets off the hook for monopoly practices because it makes a loss

PKP was suspected of abusing its dominant position and completing an illegal agreement on dividing the rail market between PKP Intercity and PKP Przewozy Regionalne (PR). Although UOKiK's spokeswoman Elżbieta Anders admitted that, "The activities of the PKP companies could possibly be considered as exploitative practices against consumers," but nevertheless, "In the face of the losses [the PKP companies] incur, the claim that they exploit the passengers in an excessive way is hardly convincing." Meanwhile, Andrzej Wach was appointed the new president of PKP a day after the former president filed his resignation citing health reasons. Wach's first decision was to change the company's management board. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6-7; Parkiet, p. 7) E.B.
