• Poland joins appeal for ‘free market’ in EU
  • 18.03.2011

 

Poland and the United Kingdom are amongst nine countries calling for an end to the structure of a uniform market.

 

A joint letter is due to be sent today to the leading bodies of the European Union, signed by the nine states in question: Poland, the United Kingdom, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

 

“These are countries that have a good name where the economy is concerned,” Mikolaj Dowgielewicz, Minister for European affairs, told the Rzeczpospolita daily, which has obtained the contents of the document.

 

Dowgielewicz noted that these countries traditionally subscribe to a liberal economic solution, and now they want to convince the rest of the Union to adopt this approach.

 

“Restrictive practices are multiplying,” the joint letter notes. “In the realm of services, we must carry out what we have done in the commodity market,” it continues, meaning the abolition of restrictions on access to the market for economic entities from other EU countries.

 

It is understood that the matter will be amongst the subjects discussed by Prime Minister Tusk and his British counterpart David Cameron, during the Polish Prime Minister’s visit to the UK on Monday. (nh/jb)
