Poland scores low marks in World Bank business report

In the 5th edition of the yearly "Doing Business", Poland was praised for amending the civil code, which helped reduce the amount of time creditors had to wait to get back their money, as well as lower the fee for registering immovable property. But Poland lags behind all other new EU member states in the rankings this year, for the second time in a row. The reason for this is that all these countries concentrate their efforts on lowering taxes, facilitating administrative issues and the procedures regarding setting up a business, says the bank's report.
