Special Economic Zones set to double in size

"I am to present the project to the permanent committee of the Cabinet by September 26," said Teresa Korycińska from the Economy Ministry. According to the ministry estimates, the SEZ will not exceed 20,000 ha in size, while the current limit is set at 12,000 ha and the zones have already used 11,000 ha. "We waited for this change, as obtaining land from the ANR takes up to 200 days," said Mirosław Pachucki from the Katowice SEZ. Interestingly, the concept is supported by deputies from all parties and there is a chance that the legislation will be amended before the approaching general election. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
