Services salvo

European Affairs Minister Jarosław Pietras says the government will prepare an analysis of the benefits resulting from opening up the EU services market. Officials will then organize a conference with key authorities in the field. It is also planned that Poland will push for the creation of a coalition of countries and organizations supporting the idea of annulling barriers to services. "Opening the market is desired by French and German entrepreneurs," said Pietras.

The European Commission currently has a different stance on the issue and plans to significantly slow the flow of services, despite the fact that EU Commissioner Jose Manuel Barroso recently supported Poland's stance. J.T.
