Polish construction firms in Germany condemn lack of government support

According to Polish construction companies operating in Germany, if they are eventually forced to leave that market, it will be largely the fault of the Polish government. On Saturday they met in Cologne to discuss ways of maintaining Polish exports of construction services to Germany. No representative from the Polish Economy Ministry attended the meeting, even though the Polish Association of Service Companies in Germany (VdPD) has been requesting the Ministry send a representative for over a month. According to VdPD head Andrzej Duda, many problems faced by Polish companies in Germany stem from incompetency or even the ill will of Polish officials. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 25) T.J.
