President Bronislaw Komorowski is to sign a bill on deregulation today to limit administrative barriers in setting up private businesses, as well as decrease their running costs.

The bill means that around 200 official documents, which currently have to be issued by various public administration organs, will be able to be written by the business owners themselves in the form of self-certification.

Privately-owned companies, including self-employed individuals, will be able to transform their businesses into other entities, such as Limited companies, for example.

An addition to the deregulatory bill also marks the return of sales of alcoholic beverages up to 4.5 percent ABV on trains running domestic routes in Poland. Currently only international routes are permitted to sell alcohol.

President Bronislaw Komorowski is to sign the bill in Warsaw’s Mokotow district tax office this afternoon, and will come into force on 1 July 2011. (jb)
