Treasury lambasted as Kulczyk's man takes reins at Orlen

However, Treasury Minister Zbigniew Kaniewski rebuked the accusations, stating, "The State Treasury, which controls 27% of shares in Orlen, has a majority on the supervisory board, which totals nine people." He also announced, against earlier expectations, that no significant decisions would be made concerning the company until the end of this month. Opposition parties seek to block Orlen's merger with MOL, its Hungarian counterpart. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) A.K.
