Transportation firms ask for support

Polish transportation firms met Treasury Ministry officials on Friday, asking for government support in connection with Russia’s embargo on Polish food imports. No decision has been made so far. The companies claim that their sector is in a dramatic situation after the import ban. Tadeusz Wilk from the International Road Transport Association told IAR than many companies have leased new vehicles to transport goods to the east. These are now out of operation. Another meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, this time in the Ministry of Infrastructure. More details should be available afterward.
