Polish companies are competitive when it comes to quality - Bieńkowska

EU internal market commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska said that Polish companies are competitive when it comes not only to price, but also to quality. "I see many big European companies getting increasingly worried that in this part of Europe serious competitors have emerged," she said, adding that the biggest obstacle when it comes to entering new markets is protectionism. "I was very surprised when I found that a Danish company had to wait seven years until it was able to start doing business in Sweden," she explained. She also said that EU grants are way of the past and the market should be based, like in the US on private investments.
