Prime Minister Donald Tusk has drafted in the billionaire owner of a postal company to help the government cut red tape, which Poles complain is a constant hindrance to doing business.
The move marks a departure from the stance of most previous Polish administrations, which preferred to leave legislative proposals in the hands of government ministers.
Tusk and Finance Minister Andrzej Domański outlined their deregulation plans as part of a broader economic vision during a conference titled ‘A breakthrough year’ at the Warsaw Stock Exchange on Monday.
“We really need to prepare urgent deregulation acts that will free the economy, free your time and also your wallets from unnecessary burdens,” Tusk told businesspeople.
The prime minister has asked entrepreneurs including Rafał Brzoska, the owner of the InPost company, to come up with a set of recommendations on how to cut bureaucracy as quickly as possible.
Tusk said that if Poland expected the EU to deregulate, it needed to start by simplifying regulations at home.
Poland in January started its six-month turn at the rotating presidency of the European Union.
