Polish pizzerias conquer the British market, job migration to Germany will not be an exodus and late Pope John Paul II a cheerful but strong willed man.
 
In search for business abroad Poles tend to look for promoting home brands, writes Dziennik Gazeta Prawna adding that this year will see the launch of 150 small businesses based on Polish concept.

The paper underlines that Polish pizzerias have become a hit abroad, which is attributed to the fact that chains with Italian cuisine are lacking on the British Isles. The Polish Pizzeria K2 has already four restaurants in Germany  and several ,more are to open soon. Dziennik adds that apart from pizza , Poles want to promote also pancakes in the UK and are not deterred even by the huge investment costs. One of the chains offering pancakes will probably open its branch in the US.

The daily notes that not only Polish gastronomic services plan to conquer world markets. Polish furniture and clothing companies plan a chain of franchising and a Polish chain of low cost grocery stores is to make its debut on the British market soon.
 
Rzeczpospolita writes that every fourth out of the 10 thousand managers and specialists questioned by the personnel consulting company Hays Poland, plans to leave for work in Germany . According to the daily Polish and German labour resorts estimate that in the next three years Poland will see an exodus of some 300 to 400  thousand specialists. The number , though large, still will not exceed the huge wave of work migration following Poland’s EU entry in 2004. Rzeczpospolita rules out an exodus , writing that there is one big obstacle and that is the language barrier. The German labour market requires specialists and those should have a fluent command of the language, writes the daily, adding however that around 40 percent of those polled by Hays Poland have already started German language  courses.
 
The same  daily publishes a report by Poland’s Main Statistical Office and the EU’s Eurostat concerning public finances and public debt in 2010. Poland is one of the five EU states noting a worsening of financial conditions in 2010 as compared to 2009, with the deficit of public finances amounting to 7.9 percent of the GDP. This country has one of the largest deficits in the EU and is among ten EU countries showing a high fiscal unbalance, which is threatening to Poland’s economy. The growth in public deficit in 2010 was due to the fact that Poland had not introduced the savings programmes, which have improved the situation in public finances in many EU countries. Time has come to repair the finances writes Rzeczpospolita , but if economic growth may defend itself, the situation in public finances may still not fill with optimism.
 
With just four days to the beatification of Pope John Paul II , the daily Fakt brings some reminiscences of the Polish born Pope , by former Vatican  spokesman Joaquin Navarro Valls.  The late Pope was a cheerful man though strong willed man , he did get angry at times especially upon news of physical or moral violence against man. The Pope was so deeply engaged in his mission that he barely paid attention to food usually eating only one meal a day and never cared how he looked on TV, remembers Joaquin Navarro Valls in an interview for the Italian daily “La Repubblica”.
