Sejm PZU Commission publishes its final report

The Committee detected many irregularities, and appealed to Treasury Minister Jacek Socha to take steps overturning the privatization agreement. If the Minister refuses to do so, the Committee will apply to the General Prosecutor to start legal proceedings annulling the privatization. According to the report, the person who is politically responsible for PZU's bad privatization is former Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek and has called for former treasury minister Emil Wąsacz to face the State Tribunal for his involvement in the deal. Apart from that, the Committee claims that Eureko-BIG-BG took part in the privatization and bought 30% of PZU shares only to save BIG-BG from being taken over. Eureko rejected all the accusations in an official statement. The company stated that it signed all the contracts with the Treasury Ministry in good faith, and with respect to Polish, as well as Dutch and international regulations. The Dutch company threatens that after it has analyzed the report it might use it in the second stage of the arbitration process concerning the payment of compensation to Eureko by Poland.
