Commission Report (2002): Poland
Steps have been taken to ensure the enforcement of the anti-trust and
state aid rules, but in the latter area the situation is not yet
satisfactory. Efforts have also been made to carry out the urgent action of
improving transparency and flow of data especially with regard to information
on state aid so as to ensure a credible enforcement record. Efforts have been
made to find a solution on the alignment of existing fiscal aid for investors
in the special economic zones. There has been some analysis of the state aid
granted to the sensitive sectors, in particular the automotive and steel
industries and some steps have been taken to improve alignment. There has
been an administrative reorganisation of the anti-trust and State aid control
authority. The actions foreseen in the Action Plan to improve co-ordination
and training at all levels are under way. Efforts foreseen in the Action Plan
have commenced with a view to increasing awareness of the rules among all
market participants and aid grantors and efforts are required in the training
of the judiciary in the specific fields of anti-trust and State aid where the
timetable set out in the Action Plan has been respected. The Accession
Partnership priorities in the area of competition have been partially met.
The implementation of the measures under the Action Plan is progressing
slowly.
