Treasury Minister pressures PGNiG directors to resign

After the company's president Marek Kossowski tended his resignation a few days ago, it is now possible that the whole of PGNiG's management board will be suspended. Back on Wednesday, Mikosz stated that the company's privatization was scandalous, and yesterday he added that the company's attempt to negotiate terms of gas supplies to key corporate consumers should be investigated by the prosecutor. Today, the PGNiG supervisory board will meet to discuss the possible suspension of management board members, but the outcome of the discussion is not prejudged. Although the State Treasury has as many as five representatives in the nine-member board, it is still uncertain if they will all vote according to Mikosz's suggestions. (Parkiet, p. 1) A.F.
