RP calls on Belka to reform Finance Ministry, but says thanks for new law

The Entrepreneurship Council (RP), the country's largest association of employers, has passed a resolution to appeal to the prime minister for a speedy reform of the Finance Ministry. "The ministry has for many years been blocking initiatives from entrepreneurs trying to stimulate economic growth. It is high time to change this," said Andrzej Malinowski, president of the Konfederacja Pracodawców Polskich, part of the RP. However, the RP still praised the government for its part in creating the new economic freedom law, which Małgorzata Okońska-Zaremba, deputy economy minister, suggested may well be implemented at the beginning of September. "It is a very good and important law for companies," Henryka Bochniarz, the head of the RP, commented. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) A.F.
