Polish and German governments horse trade over tender and road regulations

In their view, due to the competitive pressure, the tender price is often far lower than the one estimated by the EU, in which case the saved money must be transferred back to Brussels rather than designated for another project. However, in exchange, the Germans are putting pressure on Poland to raise its road regulations to European ones, particularly with regard to the maximum axle weight, which is 11.5 tons in the EU while still 10 tons in Poland.
