Preem: Treasury Ministry treats foreign firms unfairly

Preem Petroleum had submitted a bid to construct an oil storage reservoir at Gdynia's port two years ago, but Port Gdynia Holding S.A., which administers the area, was denied permission by the Treasury Ministry which cited protection of local interests as the major motive behind the negative decision. Since Poland is a signatory to EU partnership regulations, Preem has appealed to Brussels to intervene in the matter. (Rzeczpospolita, page 1)
