European Business Club Poland supports the Constitution for Business.

Administrator EKB , , , ,

The European Business Club Poland in a very positive manner opinionates the proposals for change in assumptions made in the Vice Prime Minister’s (Mateusz Morawiecki) Constitution for Business. Any solutions that facilitate activities of Polish entrepreneurs are always welcomed and can count on our support. From the moment our Association was established we stated many times that various legal barriers and an array of unclear and sometimes contradicting legal provisions are an immense barrier in the development of the Polish economy. It appears that our voice has been heard.

Without a doubt The Constitution for Business is a long awaited  document by entrepreneurs. It is very lengthy therefore here we would like to draw your attention only to a few of its aspects.

With particular satisfaction we welcome the announcement to create a spokesman for entrepreneurs. This demand has been raised by the European Business Club Poland already in 2013 and was specified in the bill’s draft written by the lawyer Wojciech Błaszczak, who was then a member of the Board of the Association. Despite introducing the document to representatives of Parliamentary Clubs at that time it was only supported by one political party. Now it has a chance to come into force which we hope will happen.

 For entrepreneurs one of the most fundamental aspects is transparency of law and interpretation of legal provisions and therefore the stability of law. Stability of law is the first ally of an entrepreneur and allows for making key decisions both in current activities as well as in forming strategies and company development. Stability of law also brings measurable effects for entrepreneurs for instance by reducing costs for legal services and also costs of lengthy court proceedings.

Mentioning the famous so called “Wilczek Bill” according to which what is not prohibited is allowed we take as a step in the right direction. This rule is connected with the above mentioned stability of law. Similarly we look at the proposal to introduce the rule of “Institutions’ silent agreement” or interpreting unclear situations on favour of the entrepreneur, and not how it has been until now – exactly the opposite.

In an optimistic way we look at the proposal of penalties used by the Institutions which will be adequate to the wrongdoing. It definitely builds a sense of justice and creates good positive relationships between the state and entrepreneurs. We also hope that this will liquidate commonly occurring cases when for little wrongdoings (i.e. a mistake in the invoice in the amount of few groszy) a penalty was imposed which was many times higher than possible losses of the state treasury and disproportionally high to the mistake made.

It is also import to create a common committee of the parliament and entrepreneurs as a constant discussion forum between the ministries and representative of entrepreneurs. It will be responsible inter alia for giving opinions on legal acts important for economic activity and coming up to common solutions. The European Business Club Poland supports the suggestion of prof. Elżbieta Mączyńska – President of the Polish Economic Society to expand this committee by representatives of non-government institutions.

However, the most important from our point of view is the emphasis on building partnerships between the state and entrepreneurs based on mutual trust and “friendly neutrality”. Upon the assumptions made in the Constitution for Business one can draw conclusions that there is a change in perceiving entrepreneurs  – finally it was understood that they are a solid base for building wealth and development of Polish society.

The European Business Club Poland wishes the Vice Prime Minister – Mateusz Marawiecki determination and success in implementing the proposed changes as quickly as possible especially due to the fact that they are needed “for yesterday”. It has to be emphasized that the idea of the Constitution for Business is noble, however its realization in practical terms will be the most important i.e. the introduced drafts of legal acts deriving from the Constitution.

The Vth European Congress for Small and Medium Enterprises.

Administrator EKB , , , , , ,

The Vth European Congress for Small and Medium Enterprises took place on 12-14 October 2015 in Katowice. 6000 registered participants including representatives from 35 countries and 44 exhibitors from Biznes Expo took part in 60 congress events. The European Business Club was represented by Mr Janusz Cieślak who took part in the panel discussions presenting the interests of the entrepreneurs – members of our Association.

How to build a constantly growing and effective Polish economy? How to build good relations and what obstacles and challenges are there before SME entrepreneurs? Answers to the above questions and many more were sought by experts from the areas of science, politics, economy and international delegations.
As prof. Jerzy Buzek, a member of the European Parliament and President of the Honorary Committee of the V European Congress for Small and Medium Enterprises, emphasized it is the small and medium entrepreneurs that are the core and the blood stream of the Polish economy. To support this one can look at the data of the state of the SME sector, which were present by Bożena Lublińska-Kasprzak the President of PARP. The SMEs constitute 99% of companies in Poland i.e. 70% of work places and 48% of GDP. The research shows that this sector has a very significant influence on the Polish economy.

“This is a unique edition for a few reasons. First of all this year is the 25th Anniversary of the Regional Chamber of Commerce. Second of all the Congress is being held at the International Congress Centre in Katowice and has gathered a record number of participants – 6000 registered persons.” – summarized by Tadeusz Donocik, President of RIG in Katowice.
The President of the European Business Club participated in the following discussions:
• The attractiveness of the Indian market for Polish enterprises. An example of companies using environmentally friendly technologies.
• Investments in unique solutions. Public funds for innovations 2014-2020.
• Economic disputes-a method for success.
• USA-a new destination for SMEs- the state of TTIP negotiations.
• Money follows ideas-a myth or reality? SME. vs. capital market.
• Meetings with leaders.
• European regions-competition or co-operation.
• One step towards innovation…, so how to improve competitiveness of companies from SMEs.
• The future of my family company-is it only through succession? True stories.
• A partnership co-operation of local governments with SMEs as a way to economic growth.

A result of the carried out debates, meetings, exchange of points of view and experience will be the publication of the conclusions and remarks connected with problems and further possibilities of development of the SMEs sector in the form of recommendations.

Chinese Ambassador visits the European Business Club Poland.

Administrator EKB , , , , , , , ,

On 19 January, at the invitation of Mr. Janusz Cieslak, the President of the EBC Poland, our Association hosted Mr. Xu Jian, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in Poland. China  appears for Polish entrepreneurs as an economy with great opportunities hence the interest of this market is enormous. Full conference room of Czarny Kot – My Warsaw Residence confirmed this thesis. Ambassador Xu Jian was accompanied by Liu Lijuan, Commercial Counsellor of the Embassy together with other members of the Embassy’s staff, as well as a delegation of the representatives of Chinese companies, among others, Mr. Li Xiaobo, CEO of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Europe), and Mr. Wang Weijing,, PR Director in Huawei.

In his welcome speech President Janusz Cieslak recalled that the first joint venture in China was established in 1951 and it has been Polish-Chinese company Chipolbrok which at a meeting represented its CEO Mr. Liu Shanghai. On the Polish side the meeting was attended by among others: Mr. Roman Jagieliński former Deputy Prime Minister and currently the President of the Fruit Group ROJA, Mrs. Anna Kalata, former Minister of Labor and now the owner of the KALATA TV, Mrs. Barbara Misterska-Dragan, former Deputy Minister of Treasury and now the President of Misters Audytor Adviser and the only in Poland Honorary Citizen of Beijing Mr. Zdzislaw Góralczyk, former Ambassador to China, currently the President of Polish-Chinese Friendship Association.

DSC_0019In his speech, Ambassador Xu Jian presented the current state of China’s economy and prospects for the development of trade relations between our countries, indicating the reasons which prevent its rapid growth. When the time for questions and comments from the audience came, a real economic dialogue between Poland and China had started. Nearly 1.5 hour conversation, not only gave the participants a unique experience, but also built a belief that there is a huge potential for growth in trade. Prospective contractors must, however, get to know each other and build common ground for agreement. That is one of the reasons why European Business Club Poland plans to organize a trade mission to China in the second half of this year. This mission will be the consequence of a visit to China, held from 30 November – 6 December 2014, by the President of EBC Poland Janusz Cieslak and a member of the Association Mrs. Barbara Misterska – Dragan. The aim of the visit was to explore the possibility of increasing the export of Polish goods to China and establishing contacts with interested companies. Thanks to previously acquired contacts, members of this year’s mission will be well prepared for the meetings with definite Chinese companies interested in trading with Polish exporters.

The last point of the meeting was the exchange of business cards and individual conversations which lasted late into the evening.
